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
