Does Not Compute
A melancholy chiptune sea shanty ballad sung by an innocent sentient robot Haevy digital chiptune 8-bit arpeggios — wistful, simple, strange, and catchy. The lyrics should convey innocent observation with naive limited emotion through with a slightly higher pitch than a man should have and has very little emotion in his voice. Words are almost awkward. Think of this as the "spoken word" of circuitry — melodic yet coded, mechanical yet expressive. Vary tempo and density to simulate emotional tone (e.g. slow, droning for sadness; quick and chirpy for excitement) and heavy chiptune elements are featured throughout.

Lyrics
**[Verse 1]**
The growers tend their gardens
Underneath the dome
The air smells sweet in Sector Nine
I don't know why they lock the door
People give Celly credits
She gives them something back
They put it in their pockets
And they don't come back for days
**[Chorus]**
And the sun sets red on Noctis Prime
And the dust gets in your eyes
I don't know what they're doing here
But everyone looks tired
**[Verse 2]**
The Colonel walks the corridors
Everyone goes quiet
They smile until she passes
Then they whisper something low
I asked a grower what he grows
He laughed and called me friend
He said it's just tomatoes
But I've never seen him eat
**[Chorus]**
And the sun sets red on Noctis Prime
And the dust gets in your eyes
I don't know what they're doing here
But everyone looks tired
**[Outro]**
I walk the same routes every night
I see the same strange things
Maybe one day someone will explain
For now I just keep walking
