  Intro: Riff A
  
  Riff B
      Like a shipwrecked mariner adrift on an unknow sea
      Clinging to the wreckage of the lost ship Fantasy

      I'm a castaway stranded in a desolate land
      I can see the footprints in the virtual sand
  
  RIff A

      Net boy, net girl
      Send your signal round the world
      Let your fingers walk and talk
      and set you free
  
  Riff D
      Net boy, net girl
      Send your message round the world
      Put your message in a modem
      and throw it in the Cyber Sea

      Astronauts in weightlessness of pixellated space
      Exchange graffiti with a disembodied race

      I can save the universe in a grain of sand
      I can hold the future in my virtual hand

  Solo
  
  Riff A
  
  Riff B
      Like a pair of vagabonds who wave between to passing trains
      Or the glimpse of a woman's smile through a window in the rain
  
  Riff C and Riff E
      I can smell her perfume, I can taste her lips
      I can feel the voltage from her fingertips
  
  Riff D
      Net boy, net girl
      Send your signal round the world
      Let your fingers walk and talk
      and set you free

      Net boy, net girl
      Send your heartbeat round the world
      Put your message in a modem
      and throw it in the Cyber Sea
