lyrics

Meme:
There’s a city they all say
That’s seen its share of times insane
but it marches with a twitch or two
onward through its days

its streets glow in the dark
hybrid things live in the park
a counter culture, folks with cyborg alterations gone too far

the best flash mob that's around
who appears all over town
a group of acapella cockroaches that sing for startled crowds

there’ s two holographic ads
who they say may have gone mad
just like bonnie and clyde fell in love and gone bad

this is the time of lights and neon
this is the time of talk and tech
this is the future come to dine tonight
like an unwanted guest
this is the time of screens and marvels
this is the time of cybersex
this is the rave you wont remember
these are the days you wont forget

rumors say that deep beneath
a second city lives and breathes
where there live luddite albinos and a dazzling red haired queen

but the tunnels have been searched
and just a dark stone gate unearthed
but you must ingest a drug and then walk through it for it to work

the best hacker here for sure
is known as chezehor thirty four
and vile, vicious people on the dark net they destroy

criminals that he's brought down
have tried in vain to track him down
but his real life name is Nicholas and he's just a mouse


this is the time of cyber wonder
this is the time you cant resist
this the sweet online addiction
that gives you that cybernetic kiss
this is the time that you were dazzled
this is the time that you were blissed
this is the lonely morning after
this is the time that you cant miss

an atheist religion reigns
the fashion industry these days
all the models and designers are all members so they say

their rituals provide a way
to switch gender every day
and binary identity renounced in every way

there's a boy who's been kicked out
from the college hereabouts
for garish flesh enhancements and extreme mutating cells

he dreams he'll find a way
to rewrite your dna
change your form, your shape and brand new biospecies thus create

this is the time of lights and neon
this is the time of talk and tech
this is the future come to dine tonight
like an unwanted guest
this is the time of screens and marvels
this is the time of cybersex
this is the rave you wont remember
these are the days you wont forget

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
