Tell me boy
Do you have room
In your heart
For the computer boom?

Electric dreams
Electric dreams

He was a boy
Who bought a computer
To put him right
Wake him up on time
What an appliance
A matter of science
Taking over was
It's only crime

You ain't gonna get one over
No matter what you try to do
You ain't gonna get one over
Now he's tryin to
Trying to prove
Electric Dreams
Electric Dreams
Are never what they seem

He fell in love
She was a beauty
He gave his message to her
Second hand
Talk about love
Wrapped up in the wires
Silly Miles didn't understand

You ain't gonna get one over
No matter what you try to do
You ain't gonna get one over
Now he's tryin to
Trying to prove
Electric Dreams
Are never what they seem
Electric Dreams
Are never what they seem
Electric Dreams
Now I'm electric too
Electric Dreams
This is what I'm tellin you
