The Body Electric
NEIL ELWOOD PEART, GARY LEE WEINRIB, ALEX ZIVOJINOVICH
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
SOS
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
SOS
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
