Artist: rush
Song: virtuality
Album: Test For Echo
Year: 1996
Like a shipwrecked mariner adrift on an unknown sea
Clingin' to the wreckage of the lost ship fantasy
I'm a castaway stranded in a desolate land
I can see the footprints in the virtual sand
Net boy, net girl
Send your signal 'round the world
Let your fingers walk and talk
And set you free
Net boy, net girl
Send your impulse 'round the world
(Put your message in a modem)
Put your message in a modem
(And throw it in the cyber sea)
And throw it in the cyber sea
Astronauts in the weightlessness of pixel lated space
Exchange graffiti with a disembodied race
I can save the universe in a grain of sand
I can hold the future in my virtual hand
Net boy, net girl
Send your signal 'round the world
Let your fingers walk and talk
And set you free
Net boy, net girl
Send your impulse 'round the world
(Put your message in a modem)
Put your message in a modem
(And throw it in the cyber sea)
And throw it in the cyber sea
Let's dance tonight to a virtual song
Press this key and you can play along
Let's fly tonight on our virtual wings
Press this key to see amazin' things
To see amazin' things
Like a pair of vagabonds who wave between two passin' trains
Or the glimpse of a woman's smile through a window in the rain
I can smell her perfume, I can taste her lips
I can feel the voltage from her fingertips
Net boy, net girl
Send your heartbeat 'round the world
Let your fingers walk and talk
And set you free
Net boy, net girl
Send your impulse 'round the world
Put your message in a modem
And throw it in the cyber sea
(Put your message in a modem)
Put your message in a modem
(And throw it in the cyber sea)
And throw it in the cyber sea
