We got a new toy they call the net Anything you want you can get it
Millions of people online My new buddies can find me here anytime
They told me that I was gonna love it
And I knew they were right When I disovered that
Eight hours a day ain't enough I can't believe I'm so hooked on this stuff
The famly disowned me But my friends all with me virtually
They told me that I was gonna love it
But I knew they were wrong When I discovered that
The government came after me 'Cause I was late on the taxes habitually
They told me to pay up the fine But I can't cut a check because I'm always online
They told me son you're in some trouble
But it much much more than doubled when
I dressed up in drag on a dare Took some digital pictures of my naughty dereire
Somehow they wound up on the net Now my friends treat me like we've never even met
They told me that I would recover
But my dereire Is on the cover of a
National magazine I'm even there on the pages stuck together in between
And everyone knows my name And i wonder if I will ever be the same
They told me maybe you should sell out
But I just can't seem to get the hell out of
The trouble that I am in 'Cause they tell me I'm wrong and they sayin' its a sin
So I'm living here out on the net Where my virtual fam'ly hasn't let me down yet
They told me baby stop your crying
While they sold me lies I kept on buying
But there's no no no denying
That I'm living loving and I'm dying on the net
Now I'm livin' the life of my dreams But should have followed my heart when I was in my teens
'Cause everyday life is a mess Is that a woman or man, baby I'm afraid to guess
They told me baby stop your crying
While they sold me lies I kept on buying
And there's no no no denying
That I'm living loving and I'm dying on the net

this song was written during the first year of my divorce in '98
all but the last verse was written during the first week she was gone
it took another year to write the last verse
