The Super Thing
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 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
Means 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
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
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
The evidence kept growing from below
Hidden motivations buried in the past
Still give us strength
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 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
Means 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
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
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
The evidence kept growing from below
Hidden motivations buried in the past
Still give us strength
