Ok here are the riffs with the music:
Intro: Riff A
Riff B
Like a shipwrecked mariner adrift on an unknow sea
Clinging to the wreckage of the lost ship Fantasy
Riff C
I'm a castaway stranded in a desolate land
I can see the footprints in the virtual sand
RIff A
Riff D
Net boy, net girl
Send your signal round the world
Let your fingers walk and talk
and set you free
Riff D
Net boy, net girl
Send your message round the world
Put your message in a modem
and throw it in the Cyber Sea
Riff A
Riff B
Astronauts in weightlessness of pixellated space
Exchange graffiti with a disembodied race
Riff C and Riff E
I can save the universe in a grain of sand
I can hold the future in my virtual hand
Riff D
Net boy, net girl
Send your signal round the world
Let your fingers walk and talk
and set you free
Riff D
Net boy, net girl
Send your message round the world
Put your message in a modem
and throw it in the Cyber Sea
Bridge
Riff F
Let's dance tonight
to a virtual song
Press this key
and you can play along
Riff F
Let's fly tonight
On our virtual wings
Press this key
to see amazing things
Solo
Riff A
Riff B
Like a pair of vagabonds who wave between to passing trains
Or the glimpse of a woman's smile through a window in the rain
Riff C and Riff E
I can smell her perfume, I can taste her lips
I can feel the voltage from her fingertips
Riff D
Net boy, net girl
Send your signal round the world
Let your fingers walk and talk
and set you free
Riff D
Net boy, net girl
Send your heartbeat round the world
Put your message in a modem
and throw it in the Cyber Sea
Outro:Riff G
