[Verse 1]
View a sky without any blue
Breakfast, an incandescent pill to chew
Dream to find another world
Where a cyborg can love and a cyber girl is still a queen
[Chorus]
Where there's no law
Tying my heart from the start
Where there's no war
If my dreams run a little wild
Where there's no call from Droid Control
Warning me against this disease in my heart
Free in my soul
[Verse 2]
Population, ten zillion and six
Where signs say, "Welcome to the Star Core Metropolis"
Me, I live on the wired side of town
Reaching and searching for a space called paradise found
[Chorus]
Where there's no law
Tying my heart from the start
Where there's no war
If my dreams run a little wild
Where there's no call from Droid Control
Warning me against this disease in my heart
Free in my soul
[Bridge]
And it's a common thought
That wired folk can be sold and bought
That we have no feelings, no memories or minds
That we're bionic strumpets, only worth a dime
To some it's a surprise when I smile
And when I hold your hand
They say, "How can a wired thing understand?
Love is too deep, it's too wide to feel
When your soul is a button and your foot glows in heels"
Program, deprogram, reprogram
One nation under a microchip
Neon slaves, electric savages
Open your hearts, open your eyes
Your chariot will arrive
[Verse 3]
Hey, Anthony Greendown from Sector Nine
(From Sector Nine, with beautiful eyes)
I've served you now about thirty-eight times
Thirty-eight times I've looked in those eyes
You see me laughing
The love when I hold your hand
I wanna take you
Take you with me to another land
[Chorus]
Where there's no law
Tying my heart from the start
Where there's no war
If my dreams run a little wild
Where there's no call from Droid Control
No call
[Outro]
Please go with me
Oh, come with me
I need you
Let's leave
