Rush - Virtuality Lyrics
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifesonLike a shipwrecked mariner adrift on an unknown seaClinging to the wreckage of the lost ship fantasyIm a castaway, stranded in a desolate landI can see the footprints in the virtual sandNet boy, net girlSend your signal round the worldLet your fingers walk and talkAnd set you freeNet boy, net girlSend your impulse round the worldPut your message in a modemAnd throw it in the cyber seaAstronauts in the weightlessness of pixellated spaceExchange graffiti with a disembodied raceI can save the universe in a grain of sandI can hold the future in my virtual handLets dance tonightTo a virtual songPress this keyAnd you can play alongLets fly tonightOn our virtual wingsPress this keyTo see amazing thingsLike a pair of vagabonds who wave between two passing trainsOr the glimpse of a womans smile through a window in the rainI can smell her perfume, I can taste her lipsI can feel the voltage from her fingertipsNet boy, net girlSend your heartbeat round the world
