A Sign

Waltari

The brave new computerbrain is giving out orders...



[Machine: ]

Death to brains, death to sorrow

Turn the lights off and wait for tomorrow

Brains of metal wait to arise

Calling dusty corpses to show up

[John Doe: ]

Don't wanna wait a minute

I need some space to escape

Livin' in a dark hole

Blind on a dead end street



The angel appears to the scene and feels sympathy for John Doe and wants to

help (?!) him.



[The Angel: ]

Oh, there's a sign

Just follow it, don't be afraid

It shows the way life's really like

Avoid the everlasting pain!

[Machine: ]

Alright, a very good trick! Just sit and relax with Mary Chain (haha)



The Angel doesn't like the computerbrain who wants to connect everyone to

itself. Everybody should have a dream that can be accomplished. She tears John

from his shell willing to give him a hint of "another day". John doesn't

hesitate a moment: they rush away! The computerbrain is left behind wondering

what really happened...



[Machine: ]

(Hey!) Where did you go! I thought I could reach you.

But my metal computer mind can't locate you anymore!

(I can't let you go)



John Doe is taken over by a strange emotion. The computerbrain notices it and

proceeds to hunt him down... It doesn't want to let it's beloved slave out of

sight. And besides, it is possessive as well as curious... The plot thickens.



[John Doe: ]

Look, what fun

Brightness, stability

And look, I will flee

There's free space in my eyes...

[Machine: ]

The breast of unknown

The breathing space

No civilized lies

The breast of the world

Fortune, fabulous, challenge the bridge, white innocence calls

The breast of the world, come to me!



[The Angel: ]

Oh, there's a sign

Just follow it, don't be afraid

It shows the way life's really like

Avoid the everlasting pain!

THE BREAST OF THE WORLD

[John Doe: ]

Come to me, the breast of the world, come to me, ...
