As the people here grow colder
I turn to my computer
And spend my evenings with it
Like a friend

I was loading a new programme
I had ordered from a magazine:

"Are you lonely, are you lost?
This voice console is a must"
I press Execute

"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired
I bring you love and deeper understanding
Hello, I know that you're unhappy
I bring you love and deeper understanding"

Well I've never felt such pleasure
Nothing else seemed to matter
I neglected my bodily needs

I did not eat, I did not sleep,
The intensity increasing,
'Til my family found me and intervened

But I was lonely, I was lost,
Without my little black box
I pick up the phone and go, Execute

"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired
I bring you love and deeper understanding
Hello, I know that you're unhappy
I bring you love and deeper understanding"

I turn to my computer like a friend
I need deeper understanding
Give me deeper understanding
