RUSH LYRICS - The Body Electric

"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



[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
