Damien Jurado - Day Of The Robot

“Look into the camera”
“Now hold still”
“We’ve got you”“One more time with anger, and sadness”
I believe you
Day Of The Robot is the 4th single of Reggae Film Star, the forthcoming 18th album by Damien Jurado. This miniature movie in a two and a half minute song is driven by a soulful electric bass groove and a swirling string arrangement.

Lyrics:
Day Of The Robot
I tried to ignore
My inner voice appalled
I silenced him with laughter
“He dies in this scene”
“We have to get it right”
“Step closer to the window”
“Now fall back”
“We’ve got you”
“If you’re unwilling we have your replacement” “Miss Parker please!”
“You’re standing in my light!”
“Can you read these cue cards?!”
“We’re making a change”
“You’re walking out of frame!”
“Step closer to the window” “Now exit”
“They’ll love you”
Running in the rainfall Your arms out
“And scene”
“Look into the camera” “Now hold still”
“We’ve got you”
“One more time with anger, and sadness” I believe you
“That will be all”
