Lyrics

In A Digital World

in a world of surprise attacks
of cul-de-sacs of cold hard facts
backtaxed pleasures 'll take your breath away
in times full of rumors of side effects of voodoo hex
they act relaxed pay respects, smile and turn away
on stages where acrobats wear many hats
but got nothin to say
in your mind you log on line and
follow down some blind alleyway
you touch something and something touches me
feelings are free falling from the limbs of a barren tree
numbers run their game, while I rack my brain
whispering coded secrets in the mystery of you
in a dgital world there's a clearing in a forest that
paves the way for a placeto lay down my weary notion
in a digital world of confusion and delusion one would
need a soul accomplice an accessory to emotion.
in a digital worldI'm just about to have to shout
when u come thru and truth comes out standin next to me
they downsize our wrong from rights lows from heights
days & nights as fast fingers glide across a local universe
here on the cutting edge we'll rise to the occasion
hail the cybernation until a bubble bursts you can
point and click your joystick
but never really touch the zone
through all the woes and bravados
oh ya know ya long for flesh & bone
you touch something and something touches me and
feelings are fre fallien from the limbs of a barren tree
numbers run their game while I rack my brain
whispering coded secrets of the destiny of you and me
in a digital world (etc)
surf the web feed your head its venting time for cybercrime
techn toys electronoise cybertease for girls and boys
number-crunch power-lunch info-squeeze lotto-hunch
cul-de-sac can't turn back hijackers hackers back to back
cybermoods mutant foods pharmaceutical candy blues
dead-end news in 3D views web of life catches you
in a digital world
