 Sometimes I kind of miss the old XJ-9

  that we used to call Jane

Really good at cleaning and we got along fine

  so I couldn’t complain

Lately she’d been getting tangled up in the shag rug

 And finally one wheel just wouldn’t spin

 So we said our goodbyes and I traded her in

 This new one’s kind of creepy, makes me shudder inside

  with his idiot grin

 He’s head to toe with muscles and they ripple and slide

  under translucent skin

 Sometimes he’ll stand for hours looking into the mirror

 And flexing like some guy at the gym

 And I’m easily ten inches shorter than him

Todd the T 1000 scares me

 I don’t think he knows I’ve got a right to exist

 And he sits in my favorite chair and dares me

 And when I look over he is making a fist

 One finger at a time

 I ask him if he’ll vacuum and he doesn’t respond,

  but I know that he heard

 I turn and catch him looking when he thinks that I’m gone

  and he flips me the bird

 I asked him when we started, please stay out of the bedroom

 But I don’t think I’m safe anywhere

 When I wake in the dark I can tell that he’s there

Todd the T 1000 scares me

 I don’t think he knows I’ve got a right to exist

 And he sits in my favorite chair and dares me

 And when I look over he is making a fist

 One finger at a time

 So I live like a ghost while he’s living like me

It’s not my house any more

 And I sneak out the door while he’s watching TV

Head down to the cyborg store

I get some new arms installed at the store

Buy the biggest ones I can

Head back to my house, Todd answers the door

He sees more than just a man

 My right arm is a smasher like the trunk of a tree

  and the left one’s a saw

 I cut the couch in half and I smash the TV

  with my big smashy claw

 He’s standing still and silent, I can’t tell what he’s thinking

 He blinks a single glowing red eye

 So I give him a shove and then Todd starts to cry

Todd the T1000 scares me

 But I think he knows I’ve got a right to exist

 And he sits in my favorite chair and dares me

 But when he looks over I am making a fist

 One finger at a time
