Prom Night 2208 lyrics

[KYLE]
Prom night 2208
The leisure deck of Starship Zircon-4 is looking great
And yeah, my mom set up my date

Tess is Gamma Class Elite
A recon droid who transferred here last month from Echo Fleet
Mom said, "Now, Kyle, you be sweet"

[TESS]
Prom night 2208
My date is weird and human, but hey, prom! I still can’t wait
I know that he’s in love with Kate

Makes sense, Kate is pretty cute
The human males all seem to like her, Kyle followed suit
He and I just don’t compute

[KYLE]
Yeah, she knows it’s just a friend thing

[TESS]
Read the signals that hе’s sending
And it’s clear our core dirеctives don’t align

[KYLE]
So I’ll give in to compunction
[TESS]
Run this routine social function

[KYLE]
And this automated evening will be fine

[BOTH]
Yeah, this automated evening will be fine

Quick pose!

[TESS]
Holo-vid, then schmooze

[KYLE]
Jason used a cloaking ray to smuggle in some booze
I like your earrings

[TESS]
I like your shoes

[KYLE]
Food’s here, have some BioPaste

[TESS]
Let me switch my flavor sensors on and have a taste
[BOTH]
Hey, this evening’s not a waste

Dinner’s over, time for dancing
So we do, and then I’m glancing
Up and seeing my reflection in your face
And I feel like I could zoom in
And see all of being human
As we sway together here in outer space
Oh, we sway together here in outer space

[KYLE]
A tap on my shoulder breaks the trance
Kate!

[TESS]
Kate...

[KYLE]
Wants to borrow me for just one dance
Okay?

[TESS]
Okay...

[KYLE]
Thanks, Tess
Here’s my big chance
Here’s my big chance
[TESS]
And I know it was a friend thing
So there’s no use in pretending
I just grab my backup charger and I go
He doesn’t want me with him
I don’t fit his algorithm
I don’t need to run the numbers, I just know

[KYLE / (TESS)]
My cheek in her hair
(Screw being human)
My hands on her dress
(Screw being human)
Kate pulls me close
(Screw being human)
And I think of Tess
I think of Tess
I think of Tess, Tess

[BOTH]
And I’m sprinting like a moron
Through the Starship Zircon-4 on
Shaky legs until I reach the hangar bay
And I’m praying it’s not empty
And you’ll be there and you’ll tempt me
Into saying everything I want to say
Into saying everything I want to say

Prom night

[KYLE]
2208
I wanted one more dance with you, I hope I’m not too late

[TESS]
Ask me, I won’t hesitate

[KYLE]
One dance, then you can hit the brakes
You shouldn’t fall for me, ’cause humans all are lousy flakes

[TESS]
Kyle, I’m a robot
I don’t make mistakes
I don’t make mistakes
