 I don't know you from Adam, it could make my day

If you leave me a message I'll give it away

'Cause the most perfect strangers that you can talk to

Are the ones who pretend that you're not really you

 Are with any attempts here to play Frankenstein

 Come with plenty of chances for changing your mind

 When you're building your own creation

 Nothing's better than real than a real

Imitation

 I won't find it fantastic or think it absurd

When the gun in the first act goes off in the third

'Cause it's rare that you ever know what to expect

From a guy made of corpses with bolts in his neck

 If the creature is limping the parts are in place

 With a mind of its own and a fist for a face

 Say hello to your new creation

 Now it's better than real it's a real

Imitation

You may wonder what the catch is

 As we batten down the hatches

 And when later we find that the thing we devised

Has the villagers clamouring for it's demise

We will have to admit the futility of

Trying to make something more of this jerry-built love

 And you'll notice it bears a resemblance to

 Everything I imagined I wanted from you

 But at least it's my own creation

 And it's better than real it's a real

Imitation
