Part 2: A Sign Lyrics - 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, ...
