lyrics

Oh little Johnny Boston-Fish!
By silver rings of science
you flew away. You left your place
for grace in human eyes.

The crucial step without a choice
took you to other shores.
You had to face in one’s right mind
the dead creatures contours.

Astonied muscles, hanging fins:
You knew; There’s no way out!
It was your own blue screen-empire
about the truth in doubt.

The bar between your head and bulge
showed to whom you belong.
Not only your world turned to fast,
as well their’s unseen wrong.

But is the shortly finished life
- they hold in gloves of plastic -
and fate of lonesome virtual hero
not boundless real >fantastic<?

Oh little Johnny Boston-Fish!
Now they have claim your laurels.
Your worthwhile earning they can’t take;
Home sea devotes you chorals.
