[Verse 1]
Images projected on a screen
Step into an artificial dream
Programme all the things you want to feel
Make a world where fantasies are real

[Chorus]
Stand back and watch the future unfurl
We'll all be living in a virtual world
In a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world

[Verse 2]
Journey far beyond the atmosphere
Watch the world behind you disappear
Float inside a microscopic cell
Is this dream a heaven or a hell?

[Chorus]
Stand back and watch the future unfurl
We'll all be living in a virtual world
In a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world

[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
In the name of progress science stands
Pushing all the frontiers known to man
When they go too far the frontiers break
And we're left to deal with their mistakes

[Chorus]
Stand back and watch the future unfurl
We'll all be living in a virtual world
In a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world

[Bridge]
Images projected on a screen
Step into an artificial dream
Programme all the things you want to feel
Make a world where fantasies are real
In the name of progress science stands
Pushing all the frontiers known to man
When they go too far the frontiers break
And we're left to deal with their mistakes

[Chorus]
Stand back and watch the future unfurl
We'll all be living in a virtual world
Stand back and watch the future unfurl
We'll all be living in a virtual world
In a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world
Ah-ah (Ah-ah), in a virtual world
Ah-ah, in a virtual world
Ah-ah
