An air-car rushes through
the light-tube highway at night
A type-8 sex-roid
a high-quality replicant
just a manufactured design

I am a machine with no civil liberties
I receive my directive: Go to room B
A type-8 sex-roid
a high-quality replicant
I have never seen the sun rise
Your data has been downloaded
I will give you what you desire

You don’t need your pride
Tonight, I will show you
something much more valuable
Codename: Barbara

I am unfamiliar with love or loneliness
I have no need for such useless features
A type-8 sex-roid
a high-quality replicant
It’s just the cost of existence
I am a machine with no civil liberties
I am not programmed to feel shame
A type-8 sex-roid
A high-quality replicant
I have only ever known the night
I will give you whatever you want
Whatever you want

What does it mean to be proud and willful?
Does that sound too pessimistic?
That’s right, I am an optimist
Codename: Barbara

I’ve never had any complaint in bed
Not once in my life.

NOTES:

“I have never seen the sun rise/I have only ever known the night” — These lines translate more accurately to “Everyday the morning never comes/Everyday the night continues.” Apparently, she is only activated at night and is shut down before the morning.

“It’s just the cost of existence” — lit., “existence value is all it is.”
