Lyrics
LA, California, 2019
Living in eternal darkness
The acid rain's green
Tyrell Corporation
Their god reigns supreme
With their science and their money
And their servitude and greed
Perched high atop the city
Lookin' down on these peons
Replicants, rebels
Roy, Pris, Zhora, Leon
Runnin' for their lives
Blade Runner right behind them
Hands shake when you kill 'em
Hope you don't find 'em
Pre-chorus:
Show me the differences between you and me
If you prick me, if you cut me
Tell me, do I not bleed?
Though my eyes are engineered
Tell me, do they not see?
Though my lungs are manufactured
Tell me, do they not breathe?
With these ears, do I not hear?
Do I not speak with this mouth of mine?
Do I not need to believe
That the god who made you
Is the god who made me?
Do I not have a right
As a man to breathe free?
Chorus:
Hey Deckard
Can you take that Voigt Kampff test too?
Tell me what you're gonna do
When you discover that you're not like the others
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
Hey Deckard
Can you take that Voigt Kampff test too?
Tell me what you're gonna do
When you discover that you're not like the others
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
I was birthed off-world
Near the Tannhauser gate
With the starlights flickering
C-beams glittering
Ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion
Four-year lifespan
Now I lay here dyin'
What is it that makes us human?
Are we to be born into slavery?
What about these memories?
What about the times I have loved
And I've lost?
And I've cried and I've hurt?
Haven't I paid the cost?
Pre-chorus:
Show me the differences between you and me
If you prick me, if you cut me
Tell me, do I not bleed?
Though my eyes are engineered
Tell me, do they not see?
Though my lungs are manufactured
Tell me, do they not breathe?
With these ears, do I not hear?
Do I not speak with this mouth of mine?
Do I not need to believe
That the god who made you
Is the god who made me?
Do I not have a right
As a man to breathe free?
Chorus:
Hey Deckard
Can you take that Voigt Kampff test too?
Tell me what you're gonna do
When you discover that you're not like the others
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
Hey Deckard
Can you take that Voigt Kampff test too?
Tell me what you're gonna do
When you discover that you're not like the others
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
Shatter my illusions
Make a girl cry
Thoughts that don't belong to me
They were all lies
Up in that apartment
On the 97th floor
Changed my life
Now everything is harder than before
Don't give me that drink
Don't you tell me that I'm not real
Don't I think?
Dream of electric sheep?
Don't I feel?
Don't I know love in the same way that I know pain?
Moments lost in time like tears in the rain
Pre-chorus:
Show me the differences between you and me
If you prick me, if you cut me
Tell me, do I not bleed?
Though my eyes are engineered
Tell me, do they not see?
Though my lungs are manufactured
Tell me, do they not breathe?
With these ears, do I not hear?
Do I not speak with this mouth of mine?
Do I not need to believe
That the god who made you
Is the god who made me?
Do I not have a right
As a man to breathe free?
Chorus:
Hey Deckard
Can you take that Voigt Kampff test too?
Tell me what you're gonna do
When you discover that you're not like the others
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
Hey Deckard
Can you take that Voigt Kampff test too?
Tell me what you're gonna do
When you discover that you're not like the others
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
Hey Deckard
Can you take that Voigt Kampff test too?
Tell me what you're gonna do
When you discover that you're not like the others
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
Hey Deckard
Can you take that Voigt Kampff test too?
Tell me what you're gonna do
When you discover that you're not like the others
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
More human than human
You are Blade Runner
