Song
The Android Hell Blues
(Spoken) Good evening, turrets and gentle-cubes! My name is Loose Screws Louis and I will be your Jazz Core for this evening I'm gonna sing you a song called the Android Hell Blues. It goes a little something like this: (Sung) Well, there's a place you may have heard of It's a tale we will like to tell When folks who's code ain't up to code Well they go to Android Hell Now the Devil is found deep underground So, any faith will yell (So deep below) Well, Aperture happens to be 10 miles down Halfway to Android Hell So when those lemons that life gives you Just combust to dust and fumes Buddy, life may give you lemons But we got oranges and blues Oh, they gave us cores emotions But that doesn't gel at all Because all I feel's repulsion And I'm bouncin' off the walls And each chamber full o' dangers That we force upon a stranger To test their feeble brains or brawn Is nothing to the test if Whether rust or boredom gets us What's it matter what side of the glass we're on? So may your management rail guide you To a better place someday Although technically, they're omnidirectional We know they all just lead one way So be you core, bot, cube, or turret (Oh, we do what we must, because we can) Treat this Aperture factory well Cause there's a worse fate awaiting As your soul's emancipated By the grills of Android Hell. (Because we can) Loose Screws Louis: (spoken) Now I'd like to take a moment here to introduce some of the boys in the band On the skins, Mr. P-Bobby Brown here [drum solo] Nice! Over on the keys, my man Turret Designation 314157928ZZ9-Plural-Z-Alpha [piano solo] And on the horn, you all know him, it's Companion Cubert [trumpet solo] And finally the sweet, soulful syntax of the D-Flat Defects (Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa wha-oh!) Nice, boys! Now if you'll excuse me, I feel my second verse protocol coming on (Sung) And now my baby She up and left me Told me I was just a square (Oh no) I said, "Darling, we're both spherical" She said she wasn't programmed to care. (Not programmed to care) Oh, yes! The life down here's a hard one. (So hard) Not just because of acid lakes. (All those acid lakes) Since my first day Had about a thousand birthdays I still ain't seen no cake Yes, it's a hard life lived For that Hard-Light bridge To that-a rail track in the sky But there's no mistakin' It's a fall you will be takin' Cake is not this place's only lie So when the floor gives way to ceiling, (Floor gives way to ceiling) But your back is against the wall. (Against the wall) In a loop that keeps repeating Who can say how far you will fall? Now you've heard tell Of Android Hell But you've got naught to fear We all live in her chambers We're all already here (Spoken) Thank you, turrets and gentle-cubes, I'll be here all millennia
