Devo Lyrics

"The Super Thing" lyrics



Today what does it take
To do the super thing
I'll tell you what it takes
A very simple thing
Iron nerves
like a pilot of a jumbo jet
for a girl on the go
Who hasn't got there yet

Magnetic trumpets blowing
Synthetic saxophones

The evidense 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
LyricsMeans it's time to go beyond
The normal thing
Pay attention and be prepared
To do it right
The super thing's the thing
that makes you bigger than life

Magnetic trumpets blowing
Synthetic saxophones

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
lights go out, electric shock
Then pleasure pain

Sensations unfamiliar
Can make you sick

It's a super human thing
And it does the trick

Magnetic trumpets blowing
Synthetic saxophones
