lyrics

Way WAY before AI (and the internet, for that matter) was a thing, we were already speculating about a computerized love connection. The downtime blues indeed...

My baby's a microchip
On an IBM mainframe
I see her on downtime
Interface so fine

My baby's a microchip
I got her access code
Punch it up on downtime
Interface so fine

Downtime blues, that’s the news
Downtime blues, this does not compute

My baby's so fast
I’m done in nanoseconds
End run, escape
Game of Pacman to unwind

My baby's a microchip
You know she's pretty hip
My baby's erotic
My baby's electronic

Downtime blues, that’s the news
Downtime blues, this does not compute
Downtime blues, so what’s new
Downtime blues, this does not compute

Mike Starling: vocals, guitar, bass
Bob Mueller: drums, backing vocals
