Addicted To Vax

June 17, 1986
Sung to "Addicted To Love" by Robert Palmer


The lights are off
but you are home
tying up
your roommate's phone
your fingers type
too fast to read
another send
is all you need!

Oooo, you like to think
that you're immune to the stuff
Oh Yeah!
Closer to the truth
to say you just can't get enough
you know, you're
gonna have to face it,
you're Addicted to VAX.
You see the sign
upon the screen
your eyes are blurred
too much to read
you try to look
to see the line
you think it says
you're out of time!
It must be lying!
This can't be saved!
you've only typed in
half a page.
But it's there
in front of you
you are out
of CPU.

Oooo you always thought
you were immune to the bugs
Oh Yeah!
Closer to the truth,
you always have too much,
You know, you're
gonna have to face it,
you're addicted to VAX.
