Lyrics for "The Body Electric"

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

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

In distress

Replays each of the days
A hundred years of routines
Bows its head and prays
To the mother of all machines, all machines

In distress

It replays each of the days
A hundred years of routines
Bows its head and prays
To the mother of all machines, mother of all machines
