Come Sail Away & Mr. Roboto

Song(s): Come Sail Away & Mr. Roboto

Artist: Styx

These two songs remind me of growing up! They are songs I fondly refer to as "dad songs" since he was the one who introduced me to them 😊 I listened to these songs last month and wrote them down so I could make sure to remember to use them this month during my "Halloween Inspired Music" playlist! I mean, the song Come Sail Awary totally works because they're singing about being abducted by ALIENS! 👽 "I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise, we climbed aboard their star ship, we headed for the skies, singing come sail away, come sail away!" 😱😱 MY WORST NIGHTMARE!! For real!! But it's a pretty legendary rock song and a really fun one to add to my playlist! Mr. Roboto is about a... Robot? 🤖 haha. Which makes me think of evil Robots taking over the world which is terrifying (I, Robot anyone?) therefore works for the Halloween theme! In my opinion. You could also dress up as a Robot! Plus, it's got such a crazy-cool (if slightly eccentric/manic) sound and vibe to it that, again, makes me think of Halloween! 🎃💀👻

I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea

Cause I've got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me

On board, I'm the captain, so climb aboard

We'll search for tomorrow on every shore

And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory

Some happy, some sad

I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had

We lived happily forever, so the story goes

But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold

But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head

They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said

They said come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me now

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me now

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise

We climbed aboard their star ship, we headed for the skies

Singing come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me now

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away, come sail away

Come sail away, come sail away

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Mata au hi made 

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto 

Himitsu wo shiri tai 

You're wondering who I am (secret secret I've got a secret)

Machine or mannequin (secret secret I've got a secret)

With parts made in Japan (secret secret I've got a secret)

I am the modern man

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin

My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain IBM

So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised

I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide

To keep me alive, just keep me alive

Somewhere to hide, to keep me alive

I'm not a robot without emotions. I'm not what you see

I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free

I'm not a hero, I'm not the savior, forget what you know

I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control

Beyond my control. We all need control

I need control. We all need control

I am the modern man (secret secret I've got a secret)

Who hides behind a mask (secret secret I've got a secret)

So no one else can see (secret secret I've got a secret)

My true identity

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto

For doing the jobs that nobody wants to

And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto

For helping me escape just when I needed to

Thank you, thank you, thank you

I want to thank you, please, thank you

The problem's plain to see:

Too much technology

Machines to save our lives

Machines dehumanize

The time has come at last (secret secret I've got a secret)

To throw away this mask (secret secret I've got a secret)

Now everyone can see (secret secret I've got a secret)

My true identity...

I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

2020!
