Multi-Masking

Hey. How you doing? If you haven't figured out the lyrics to the song yet: 1: It's a mouse and a printer. The 2nd verse is the keyboard. The 1st is a monitor. Hang on a second... I'm talking like this because it sounds really scary backwards. I just hope I don't mess up my throat. Anyways, verse 3 is a hard drive and a floppy disk. The 4th verse is a motherboard with integrated circuits. The 2nd is a scanner. I'll see you later. Bye! It's a tale that's leading the chase A creature stirring blind Selected choices locked in place And yet another to find Running scared, caught in the lights With nothing left to waste Bleeding black and blue on whites Repeatedly replaced Digits flying in the pouring rain A brick wall collapse The order left to explain The convenience... perhaps Arrange in any form or shape To carry out commands He's got the keys, no need to escape Control is in his hands I gazed amazed at the TV set Assembled dots appeared In contrast, a silhouette The resolution was clear After dark, machines in flight On display to view The scheme didn't seem too bright Pitch black to baby blue Reading, writing the arithmetic By retrieving heads Tables turn as needles prick Into spinning threads A face as pale as a ghost The information burned And if caught, it would be toast And could not be returned Racing at the speed of light Prepared for the pack Unaware of the invader's plight, All veiled in black They crept onto the open field, The array so precise The swarm charged, forced to yield, Then got stuck in the ice I'd screen the scene And analyze in a single pass, Then translate and plagiarize The writing on the glass A pretty face taken from a mag The headlines from yesterday To modify could be a drag To connect, plug and pray
