The lyrics are Roy Batty's monologue. (Well, there is one apparently misheard word, but you mentally can substitute the correct one -- which would actually fit the rhythm better.)


What's also interesting is that it seems to be sampling for its rhythm track Steve Reich's "Clapping Music," which makes for a strange conjunction of cultural references:
 
Oh, I just noticed that at the beginning of the video they show clapping hands, so they're acknowledging the Reich sampling.
