Lyrics
The Body Electric
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One humanoid escapee
One android on the run
Seeking freedom beneath a lonely desert sun
Trying to change its program
Trying to change the mode...crack the code
Images conflicting into data overload
[Chorus]
1 0 0 1 0 0 1
SOS
1 0 0 1 0 0 1
In distress
1 0 0 1 0 0
Memory banks unloading
Bytes break into bits
Unit One's in trouble and it's scared out of its wits
Guidance systems break down
A struggle to exist
To resist
A pulse of dying power in a clenching plastic fist
[Chorus]
It replays each of the days
A hundred years of routines
Bows its head and prays
To the mother of all machines
