The Body Electric

One humanoid escapee
One android on the run
Seeking freedom beneath the lonely desert sun

Trying to change its program
Trying to change the mode, crack the code
Images conflicting into data overload

One-zero-zero-one-zero-zero-one
S.O.S
One-zero-zero-one-zero-zero-one
In distress
One-zero-zero-one-zero-zero

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

One-zero-zero-one-zero-zero-one
S.O.S
One-zero-zero-one-zero-zero-one
In distress
One-zero-zero-one-zero-zero

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