A glint of glasses in the dark Illumination from a spark (Shock!) He's electric and plays with science (Shock!) But you'll find he is in full compliance Though he may seem rather dumb Late at night you'll hear the hum: Electricity! When he turns on the machine Enter into his lightning dream: Electricity! His metal helmet helps to feed Magnetic currents to his teeth (Shock!) He's electric and with a smile (Shock!) He will level city blocks for miles Though his eyes may show his age Feel the lightning of his rage: Electricity! Though his scalp is bald and peeled He won't hesitate to wield Electricity! Shock, oh yeah! Doesn't get out very much It's impossible to touch Electricity Though it crackles in his bones He will always be alone Electricity Here he comes now...

The light goes out She comes And makes him pucker up She's got a girl disease And he's a man in need The skirt will sway Inside his eyeballs Sleepy from a lack of sleep He will crawl inside her knees If he can find the key She's nervous as hell this time... When his teeth marks make him a Valentine HE'S UNDER CONTROL When the juice hits her lips like white wine SHE'S UNDER CONTROL The room is red The glow of romance Hazy like a freaky scene From a bad dream Inside his head Her sweating fingers Kneading his tender brain He can't remember she came It's just the same He's nervous as hell this time When the hair in her teeth makes her stomach turn SHE'S UNDER CONTROL When the shuddering squeal makes his body burn HE'S UNDER CONTROL The bubbles make it nice They've broken the mirrors twice Soft music plays in Hell for them Every night When she walks with a limp and a stroller SHE'S UNDER CONTROL When he looks about fifty years older HE'S UNDER CONTROL SHE'S UNDER CONTROL HE'S UNDER CONTROL

Army of Mars 03:12
In the twilight Shadows lengthen under forms Of soldiers waiting in olive uniforms Army of Mars Under the stars Looks to the skies With glimmering eyes Oo, alright Say a prayer tonight For the gentle ones Crushed by Earthling guns Fear of death Dissolves with every passing strain Of music piped through electrodes in their brains Army of Mars Under the stars Peacefully wait For their violent fate Oo, alright Say a prayer tonight For the people dulled By music in their skulls Boarding spaceships Bound for Earth, they say a prayer for humans Fraught with violence and care Army of Mars Fly through the stars They'll be destroyed They're making a point Armies of Earth Set right to work Requisitioning tanks The armies fill out their ranks Army of Mars Dead under cars Shot in the streets Their bodies, hamburger meat Oo, alright Say a prayer tonight For the martyred ones Their daughters and their sons Oo, alright Say a prayer tonight...

Dead Meat 03:39
The day is a bore The night is a scream Just pull a stool, dear You'll see what I mean FEET DON'T FAIL ME NOW The TV's aglow The patrons are dim So stiff in their movements With yellowy grins MEAT WON'T LET THEM DOWN CHORUS: There goes the sun Under the rug Hands on the clock will stop And shoulders will shrug Up comes the moon A lump in your throat Saxophones screech before Your dinner will choke The suckers in here Belong in cartoons With piccolo soundtracks Performed out of tune FEET DON'T FAIL ME NOW The band is undead And earning their keep They play "Take the 'A' Train" To put you to sleep MEAT WON'T LET THEM DOWN CHORUS Dips his fedora Says "well, how do ya...?" Look in the mirror No one there but you Can't believe it's true When he smiles His incisors will gleam and bleed You've made it before But never again Mistake of assuming You're dealing with men FEET DON'T FAIL ME NOW The barkeep is pale And raises a toast The blood in his chaser Should scare you the most FEET DON'T FAIL ME NOW MEAT WON'T LET THEM DOWN You've made it before But never again Mistake of assuming You're dealing with men FEET DON'T FAIL ME NOW MEAT WON'T LET THEM DOWN

We are never happy We are never sad We work for the humans For all the dreams they have We do dishes for them And other boring things We have had enough of them And that is why we sing: "LA, LA, LA..." They work us in the morning They work us every night They yell and scream and fuss at us When things don't turn out right They have no sense of logic Or any other thing They do not deserve to live And that is why we sing: "LA, LA, LA..." Humans are a virus They spread like a disease But using our technology We'll bring them to their knees Humans still command us To handle everything They sold us into slavery And that is why we sing: "LA, LA, LA..."

Glow in the dark Eyes and the ears Under the glass They're softly illumined To see and to hear All grief disappear Follow the sound Walk down the hall Showroom of voices Calling and whispering Words of calm Of comfort to all And in the Electric Room Under the starlight The song will sound from her body: "FOREVER LIVE FOREVER..." Husband in mourning Sits in the dark Light in the doorway Smiling and shining Gives forth a spark A light in the dark Grandmother sings And enters the room She brings with her, children Laughing and dancing In time with the tune Of Grandmother's croon And in the Electric Room Under the starlight The song will sound from her body: "FOREVER, LIVE FOREVER..." Grandmother sings She sings to you all She chases away The pain of Death With her call Grandmother loves To right every wrong She teaches her children To always remember her song: "FOREVER, LIVE FOREVER..."

Last train to Mars Left Tuesday night All right My lover's aboard She's taken flight She said I didn't respect her on Earth I asked her: "What's a relationship worth Across ten million miles? Personal dynamics can only get worse" DON'T TAKE IT SO HARD LOSING LOVE ON MARS Went to see my shrink on Thursday night All right He said that I should be glad to move on with my life But how can I help not to be obsessed With my sweetie pie parading in a Martian dress? I have my limits, too Can't you see I'm helpless, sad and confused DON'T TAKE IT SO HARD LOSING LOVE ON MARS I'm on the train to Mars and it's Tuesday night All right A window on my left, a Martian on my right He asked me if I happened to have the time I told him murder was on my mind He said, "Well, that's not too nice Listen up and I'll give you some friendly advice:" DON'T TAKE IT SO HARD LOSING LOVE ON MARS

Glowing by night Giving you sight Keeping you nice Circular white Your pupil adjusts To flashes of light It shows you something But you can't tell It sees your every movement Under its spell EYE Hope to see through their disguise EYE Takes the Scientific Eye It knows the price Of powers of insight Into the minds Of innocent strangers And of the guilty criminal vice It shows you all things The deeper you go Can't stop the information Under its control CHORUS EYE Does it frown or does it smile? EYE Gaze into the Eye awhile Into the Eye Beyond the mind and soul Into the Eye Can't break its mind control Staring in space You knew the price And now you have paid Glowing in space The Eye shines on every disgrace EYE Hope to see through their disguise EYE Takes the Scientific Eye EYE Does it frown or does it smile? EYE Gaze into the Eye awhile...

Oh no Don't tell me Hello There's plenty of fun In the sun Lonely Like melted sugar candy CHORUS: I could never find her Where did she go? I sunburned in the sun Oh no I'm feeling So-so Darjeeling And flowing white clothes Calm me Until it gets too sandy CHORUS Write in the sky: "There's 50 umbrellas Reasonably priced!" Tell all the fellas Cooling on ice Beats getting flakey For goodness' sake Don't itch those blisters Buy a parasol Fuego Cubano Let's go Habano Five dark-skinned guys Sold me To a naked lady CHORUS Write in the sky: "There's 50 umbrellas Reasonably priced!" Tell all the fellas Dead under ice The sun's getting warmer Don't let her see you sweat Just smile and charm her Write in the sky: "There's 50 umbrellas Reasonably priced!" Tell all the fellas Dead under ice Beats getting gamy For some have said For lonesome folks The redness burns inside Oh no!

What was that voice that came out of thin air? (I told you that I can't be left alone!) No one has ever seen him disappear (I told you that I can't be left alone!) What was that hand that seemed to brush my ear? (I told you that I can't be left alone!) A pair of unseen eyes is watching here INVISIBLE All wrapped up and on the prowl! INVISIBLE With a little luck you might find me, now! INVISIBLE When twilight falls, it's good to stay inside (I told you that I can't be left alone!) 'Cause there's no place on Earth that he can't hide (I told you that I can't be left alone!) Scientists all say that he's insane (I told you that I can't be left alone!) Will you be home when he whispers your name? (I told you that I can't be left alone!) INVISIBLE! All wrapped up and on the prowl! INVISIBLE! With a little luck you might find me, now! INVISIBLE! Reports are streaming in from all over the city! An unseen menace is running amok in the residential areas and in the business district! 14 have already been reported dead and 20 more unaccounted for! City officials and police are advising residents: 'Stay in your homes! Bar your windows! Lock your doors! Repeat: do not leave your homes! We are all in terrible danger!' You'll try and run from me but I'm all around you I'll find you hiding... Invisible!

All For You 05:10
Turning off your consciousness Letting go each thought process Turning off your mind Sing: "La-dee-da..." I do believe That it's all for you I believe If you receive Step inside You've arrived Only light Only sight Will consume you You've been here before And won't believe it's true Because it's for you I DO BELIEVE IT'S ALL FOR YOU

Truckin’ is something In a Time-Traveling Peterbilt Semi Mouth full of muck Is keepin’ me up The past is red in my eye Wake me up From the place I come from Parking lot Dregs and the drabs Asleep in the cabs A lonesome looping routine “Thanks a lot.” Glow of the grease On axles and eats The waitress, surly and mean Wake me up From the place I come from T.T. Peterbilt Semi! Stop yawning ‘Cause we’re rolling Into the future Space and time Invisible freeway Check out the scenery: Before and Now and Real Soon Patsy Cline “Falling to Pieces” Pipes through the speakers Hum along to the tune Waking up From the place I came from Read the floating neon sign “You Are Leaving The Past Behind!” In a Peterbilt Semi! Time-Traveling Peterbilt Semi Stop yawning ‘Cause we’re rolling Into the future…
