XTC - The Compact XTC

Science Friction

I look out my window at night
I see the stars and I'm filled with fright
I have a feeling someone's looking
It ain't the aliens at the foot of my bed
It's more the ale inside my head
I have a feeling something's cooking

Science friction that burns my fingers
Electricity that still lingers
Hey, put away that ray
How do you Martians say I love you?

I read my comics from front to back
I'll be ready for any attack
I got a feeling someone's looking
It ain't the aliens at the foot of my bed
It's more the ale inside my head
I have a feeling something's cooking

Science friction that burns my fingers
Electricity that still lingers
Hey, put away that ray
How do you Martians say I love you?
(Psychedelic)

Science friction burns my fingers
Electricity that still lingers
Hey, put away that ray
How do you Martians say I love you?

I read my comics from front to back
I'll be ready for any attack
I have a feeling someone's
It ain't the aliens at the foot of my bed
It's more the ale inside my head
I've got a feeling something's

Science friction that burns my fingers
Electricity that still lingers
Hey, put away that ray
How do you Martians say I love you?
