Devo - The Super Thing lyrics
[Devo - The Super Thing lyrics]
Today what does it take
To do the super thing (super thing)
I'll tell you what it takes
A very simple thing (simple thing)
Iron nerves
Like the pilot of a jumbo jet (jumbo jet)
Or a girl on the go
Who hasn't got there yet
Magnetic trumpets blowing
Synthetic saxophones
The evidence kept growing from below
Hidden motivations buried in the past
Still give us strength for the super thing
The red alarm
A rude surprise every time it rings
(time it rings) means it's time
To go beyond the normal thing (normal thing)
Pay attention and be prepared
To do it right (do it right) the super thing
The thing that makes you bigger than life
Magnetic trumpets blowing
Synthetic saxophones
The evidence kept growing from below
Hidden motivations buried in the past
Still give us strength to do the super thing
Won't you tell me what it takes
To do the super thing
Won't you give me what it takes
To do the super thing
Signals start to travel
From a distant place (distant place)
Lights go out electro shock
Then pleasure pain (pleasure pain)
Sensations unfamiliar
Can make you sick (make you sick)
It's a super- human thing
And it does the trick
Magnetic trumpets blowing
Synthetic saxophones
The evidence kept growing from below
Hidden motivations buried in the past
Still give us strength
To do the super thing (super thing)
I'll tell you what it takes
A very simple thing (simple thing)
Iron nerves
Like the pilot of a jumbo jet (jumbo jet)
Or a girl on the go
Who hasn't got there yet
Magnetic trumpets blowing
Synthetic saxophones
The evidence kept growing from below
Hidden motivations buried in the past
Still give us strength for the super thing
The red alarm
A rude surprise every time it rings
(time it rings) means it's time
To go beyond the normal thing (normal thing)
Pay attention and be prepared
To do it right (do it right) the super thing
The thing that makes you bigger than life
Magnetic trumpets blowing
Synthetic saxophones
The evidence kept growing from below
Hidden motivations buried in the past
Still give us strength to do the super thing
Won't you tell me what it takes
To do the super thing
Won't you give me what it takes
To do the super thing
Signals start to travel
From a distant place (distant place)
Lights go out electro shock
Then pleasure pain (pleasure pain)
Sensations unfamiliar
Can make you sick (make you sick)
It's a super- human thing
And it does the trick
Magnetic trumpets blowing
Synthetic saxophones
The evidence kept growing from below
Hidden motivations buried in the past
Still give us strength
