One humanoid escapee
one android on the run
seeking freedom beneath a lonely desert sun

trying to change its program
trying to change the mode -- crack the code
images conflicting into data overload

chorus
1-0-0-1-0-0-1
sos
1-0-0-1-0-0-1
in distress
1-0-0-1-0-0

memory banks unloading
bytes break into bits
unit one's in trouble and it's scared out of its wits

guidance systems break down
a struggle to exist
to resist
a pulse of dying power in a clenching plastic fist

chorus

it replays each of the days
a hundred years of routines
bows its head and prays
to the mother of all machines
