Broken Wheels

Anatoly cant stop thinking about what the old woman said, and he seeks out an engineer who might know more. The engineers name is Rufus Slight, and when Anatoly asks him about the ghost word, he is extremely reluctant to talk to him. Rufus doesn't want to be seen with a robot, lest he become outcast along with it. He begrudgingly opens Anatoly up, and discovers two things. The first being a word hidden in his programming; "Waitrose". The second thing, Anatolys inner gears are breaking down, and with no one to fix him, he will surely malfunction. Anatoly speaks the word, but nothing happens. The word is a clue, to point him towards his true ghost word. Anatoly, knowing his time is short, sets out in the search for Waitrose.

lyrics

Your turning time has run a course your maker gone for now, no one to lift you up and fix you when you're down

Inside your rusting shell, your broken wheels won't work, you feel as human as you ever will, little broken down boy

my sympathies oh dearest boy, you're all alone and how will you believe the words that fall out from my mouth?

Inside your rusting shell, your broken wheels won't work, you feel as human as you ever will, little broken down boy

And i will help you as i can, apart from what others might say, you have my vote of confidence, just get out while you can, your numbers vivid your name is given for you, i will do this for you

Inside your rusting shell, your broken wheels won't work, you feel as human as you ever will, little broken down boy
