Digital Man

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
