Lyrics

Give me light give me action at the touch of a button. Flying through hyper-space in a computer interface. Stop - living on video stop - integrated circuits. Stop - sur un faisceau de lumieres stop - is this reality? Traveling in a light beam laser rays and purple skies. In a computer fairyland it is a dream you bring to life. Stop - living on video stop - integrated circuits.... Living on video - sur un faisceau de lumieres I see your glitterring blue eyes you look at me with a smile. It's a computer fantasy it is waiting for you and me. Living - living on video living - living on video Living - living on video living - living on video - stop....
