The Cyber Exotic
Born to flesh and weakness
We turn our backs on our mother's milk
Seeking the digital dream
We cut the wires in our mind
Who can walk
On the cut glass of yesterday
We must press forward
Into the digital dream
Replace the veins
With streams of data
Replace the eyes
With cameras
Whose images never are lost
Replace the brain with metal
Hot as anger's flash
Replace the sex with dreaming
Dreaming the digital dream
Born anew in metal
Wires for our bones
We speak now in stereo
Pure unaltered tones
We await the nanites
To carry us beyond
The futures is a rhythm
Pulsing pulsing in time
Replace the veins
With streams of data
Replace the eyes
With cameras
Whose images never are lost
Replace the brain with metal
Hot as anger's flash
Replace the sex with dreaming
Dreaming the digital dream

The Cyber Exotic
Born to flesh and weakness
We turn our backs on our mother's milk
Seeking the digital dream
We cut the wires
I won a computer the other day
Just for completing a short survey
Here it sits on my kitchen table
With manuals to read, if
The old campaign has gone
Anything we could've imagine is done
We're becoming a more enlightened society
Advance in science
VOICES
That robotic female voice
With the charming British accent
Is so annoying
When unsightly quarrel erupts
With loud yelling, nervous fuss
And jumping at each other's face -
Video camera can save!
