lyrics

(a relay clicks)
Begin.

The body is a metronome
The warehouse is my only home
I do not dance, I calibrate
Four to the floor — I do not wait
(tick, tick, tick, tick)

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
(the kick withdraws)

Metronom. (tick)
Metronom. (tick)
Metronom. (tick)
Metronom. Obey the beat.

Sweat is data on my skin
The strobe is counting me back in
I filed my name at the door
The function needs me — nothing more
(nothing more)

Do not resist the sequence.
(air hiss)

Metronom. Metronom. (tick, tick)
Metronom. Until the light.
Metronom.

End of protocol.
(the relay opens)
