One humanoid escapee

One android on the run

Seeking freedom beneath the lonely desert sun

Trying to change its program

Trying to change the mode, crack the code

Images conflicting into data overload

One zero zero one zero zero one

SOS

One zero zero one zero zero one

In distress

One zero zero one zero zero

Memory banks unloading

Bytes break into bits

Unit One's in trouble and it's scared out of its wits

Guidance systems break down

A struggle to exist

To resist

A pulse of dying power in a clenching plastic fist

One zero zero one zero zero one

SOS

One zero zero one zero zero one

In distress

One zero zero one zero zero

It replays each of the days

A hundred years of routines

Bows its head and prays

To the mother of all machines
