"Vision in Black"

Hey Steve, I believed from way way back
'Cause I felt that you were on the right track
Well, I laughed and I cried when I heard you speak
And I put down ten big bills that week
Hey Steve!  (Hey Steve!)
I believed!  (I believed!)
And I did what it took to buy into the dream!

I'm a NeXTstep man, I'm a NeXTcube guy
So I don't wanna hear that the cube may die
It's 12 by 12, magnesium black
It's got three more empty slots in back
Hey Steve!  (Hey Steve!)
I'm on my knees!  (I'm on my knees!)
Hey Steve I'm beggin' you please, don't kill the cube!

Now, I'm hearing some stuff about optical drives
And I'm starting to feel some real bad vibes
'Cause I put down twenty-five hundred bucks
And I'm starting to feel like I'm sure f***ed
Hey Steve!  (Hey Steve!)
Oh Please!  (Oh Please!)
Hey Stephen, don't you be thievin' my optical drive!

Hey Steve, I believe that the future is NeXT
And I've tried to give you my personal best
I believe in the vision, and I live for the quest
So I hopped on a plane and I flew out west
Hey Steve!  (Hey Steve!)
I believe!  (I believe!)
Hey Steve, I sure believe the future is NeXT!

Hey Steve!  (Hey Steve!)
We believe!  (We believe!)
Hey Steve, We sure believe the future is NeXT!
