Digital Shaman

Here he comes, matted hair,
Flowing gown of coloured squares.
Shakes a staff, you may laugh,
Steals your mind and makes you daft, oh man.

He's a digital shaman.

Every boy and every girl
Is sucked into his crazy world.
Casting spells and twisting words,
Gathering his flock of birds, oh man.

He's a digital shaman.

Every pleasure's catered for
And many times enhanced.

He's a wolf, he's a bear,
Beckons you into his lair.
Don't go in, you can't win
Once the rituals begin, oh man.

He's a digital shaman.

Every pleasure's catered for
And many times enhanced.
Learn to love the whipping hand,
Trapped inside a trance.
