Digital man de Rush

Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
His world is under observation ---
we monitor his station
under faces and the places
where he traces points of view
He picks up scraps of conversation ---
radio and radiation
from the dancers and romancers
with the answers --- but no clue
He'd love to spend the night in zion
he's been a long while in babylon
he'd like a lover's wings to fly on
to a tropic isle of avalon
His world is under anaesthetic ---
subdivided and synthetic
his reliance on the giants
in the science of the day
He picks up scraps of information ---
he's adept at adaptation
'cause for strangers and arrangers
constant change is here to stay
He's got a force field and a flexible plan
he's got a date with fate in a black sedan
he plays fast forward for as long as he can
but he won't need a bed ---
he's a digital man
