aquanet  -  spastic  ink

i  struck  the  key,  prepared  to  launch

beyond  the  colored  glass

a  pseudonym  used  in  disguise

with  a  secret  word  to  pass

it  took  a  few  tries  to  get  through

the  line  of  maniacs

now  i  just  have  to  wait

while  they  verify  the  facts

i  finally  had  gained  access

so  what's  the  fuss  about?

i  thought  i'd  browse  around

then  investigate  throughout

who's  ahead  in  the  rat  race?

who  was  killed  in  the  crime?

what's  cool,  what's  hot?

what's  a  waste  of  time?

we're  informed  and  entwined

by  checking  out  the  sights

designed  to  view  in  a  flash

with  glitz  and  neon  lights

play  for  real  and  catch  the  waves

streaming  in  my  ear

watch  every  move  in  quick  time

get  the  spots  out  of  here

i'd  navigate,  try  to  escape

something  like  that

i  looked  out,  bound  to  explore

to  go  to  where  it's  at

looking  for  an  address

i  didn't  have  to  ask  for  directions

in  search  for  what  i  was  after

led  to  linked  connections

who  hit  the  last  shot?

take  a  chance,  roll  the  dice

i  couldn't  decide  where  to  apply

what  to  choose,  and  name  a  price

had  i  been  framed?

it  was  written  in  the  code

if  i  don't  get  cooperation

i  just  might  have  to  reload

what  would  excite?

who  is  the  latest  attraction?

she  said  "come  inside  if  you

think  you're  up  for  some  action"

in  heels  and  lace  or  wrapped  in  chains

i  must  be  on  the  right  page

she  wanted  my  number,  then  she  asked

are  you  "at  least  of  the  age..."?

it's  not  for  me  if  it's  not  for  free

i  didn't  want  it  that  much

it  doesn't  cost  a  thing

to  chat  and  keep  in  touch

sleet  or  snow  is  not  a  concern

to  have  a  thought  expressed

get  attached,  to  who  you  reply

it's  already  self  addressed

knowledge  gained,  entertained

and  mindlessly  roam

i've  had  my  share,  now  i'm  where

i'd  like  to  get  back  home

one  by  one,  the  windows  closed

turned  around  the  sign

oked  to  disconnect

and  get  off  the  line

"if  you'd  like  to  make  a  call

please  hang  up  and  try  again.

if  you  need  help,  hang  up

and  then  dial  your  operator."
