Electronic sounds dancing in my head
Output meters, pushed into the red
Future retro, electro funk
Vintage synthesis, analog punk
Vocoded language, words unspoken
Communication, the English broken
Multi-lingual and polyphonic
The sound spectrum, electronic
The world of tomorrow, a cliche?
Sounds of the future, from yesterday
Zeros and ones, the language of choice
New technologies, a new voice

Tonight's a celebration, everyone is out to dance
Moving to the rhythm, everyone takes a chance
The mood is contagious, moving to the beat
Living in the moment, never felt so sweet
Dance, dance, dance the night away
Dance, dance, dance, there's only today
Excitement is unfolding all around
A throbbing bass, you can touch the sound
The mood is set, the lights are low
Everything is bathed, in a neon glow
Dance, dance, dance the night away
Dance, dance, dance, there's only today
Coming out to play, it's a party everywhere
Living in the moment, without a care
Beat box rhythm, the beat of the heart
The night never ends, once you start...
Dance, dance, dance the night away
Dance, dance, dance, there's only today

Love & Dancing (7" Mix)
04:37
|
|||
|
We took the autobahn to echo beach
Mystery achievement just out of reach
A Bluer Monday in a softer cell
Love and dancing, Speak & Spell
The Politics of Dancing, moving to the beat
Our own private Idaho, never obsolete
Telex Records, 12" singles, a radio scan
Another space aged love song, something big from Japan
The machines of Propaganda, the message was sent
Broken English. a new language, we knew what it meant
Non Stop Ecstatic Dancing, Jumping Someone Else's train,
Those West End Girls, Were Walking, walking in the Rain
We took the autobahn to echo beach
Mystery achievement just out of reach
A Bluer Monday in a softer cell
Love and dancing, Speak & Spell

ome and play, just for today
Come and play, just for today
What do you say? Wanna come out and play?
Go underground, just for the day?
Open the door, go explore
find the treasure on a distant shore
Take a chance. Maybe dance?
Feel the rhythms of romance
Bounce to the beat, on the street.
Surrender to the heat
Come and play, just for today
Come and play, just for today

Modern Age (Machine Mix)
05:22
|
|||
|
This is the Modern Age, this is the Modern Age...
I'm out of sync with what I think, and what I feel
Reality what do I see and is it really real?
Everyone is on talk TV, victims of victimless crime
Everybody trying to be someone, and only killing time
This is the Modern Age, this is the Modern Age...
Pollutants in the ozone, the world is under attack
There might even be some anthrax in your crack
Go for higher learning, maybe get a degree
Then go work for Walmart, it's like working for free
This is the Modern Age, this is the Modern Age...
Get your sex from the internet. Prescriptions too.
Visit a plastic surgeon. You'll feel brand new.
Shiny new promise, for a world you'll never know.
Chronic discontent is all you'll have to show.
I'm out of sync with what I think, and what I feel
Reality what do I see and is it really real?
Just a paranoid schizophrenic, sit at home and cry
Don't have the strength to live, don't have the guts to die...
This is the Modern Age, this is the Modern Age...
This is the Modern Age, this is the Modern Age...

You and me, it's a game I guess
I thought I'd come too far, to regress
Imagination, ran wild and free
Expectations, got the best of me
Where did it all begin? How did this come to be?
Was it random chance or was it destiny?
You keep on pushing, even though it's time to quit
You keep on taking, turning everything to shit
It's murderous. It's true.
Bad things, could happen to you
The end result, the place to start?
Scrutinize the motives, that played the part
The motivations, emotions spent
Does outcome count? Does intent?
It's murderous. It's true.
Bad things, could happen to you
In my dreams I see you driving on a windswept moonlit night
On impact with that concrete post, I see your car ignite
Or maybe someone choking you, hands around your throat?
Or maybe just a spider bite, without an antidote?
It's murderous. It's true.
Bad things, are going to happen to you..

Revenge
05:22
|
|||
|
I don’t know why I had to prove myself , especially to you
Looking back it’s all so pointless, now that it’s through
But it mattered then what you thought, it mattered what you felt
I thought that was our destiny, the hand we had been dealt
The things I put myself, the things I let you put me through
The things I did, the things I felt, I had to do
The obligations and commitments always left unsaid
And all those disappointments, the emotions left for dead
Chorus:
And the walls seem so much closer, the world so far away,
Disconnect the line there’s nothing left or more to say,
Tonight everything is so out of reach, and the only thing I want. . .
Is Revenge
No bitterness now, only regrets. .
And there’s no way to collect emotional debts
The obligations and commitments always left unsaid
And all those disappointments, the emotions left for dead
Chorus:
And the walls seem so much closer, the world so far away,
Disconnect the line there’s nothing left or more to say,
Tonight everything is so out of reach, and the only thing I want. . .
Is Revenge

Go Away
04:05
|

|
Just go, go away
Just go, go-go away
You're just a taker, it's all about you
You're just a faker, don't even know that you're through
You keep on trying, but it's over and done
You keep on lying, with a mouth like a gun
It started easy, always letting me pay
Keeping the distance, staying close but away
But what you needed, you needed a lot
You thought you had it, but it wasn’t that hot
Chorus:
It’s past the time
The time for you to go away
Wherever you go
I only hope that you stay (away)
Just go, go away
Just go, go-go away
Just what you’re wanting, your motives are clear
The bluff exterior, can’t hide all of the fear
You know I hate you, but don’t want you to cry
It’s so much better, If you’d just go off and die
Chorus:
It’s past the time
The time to just go away
Wherever you go
I only hope that you stay (away)
Just go, go away
Just go, go-go away

Plastic surfaces, conditioned air
Medicated moods, no longer care
Synthetic flavors, pre-programmed thought
Analogue life, sold and bought
Airbrushed passion, on demand
Slick & scripted, safe & bland
Enhanced for viewing pleasure
Made to order, made to measure
Chorus:
Synthetic Flavors, pre-programmed thought
Analogue life, sold and bought
Artificial colors, synthetic taste
Analogue life, gone to waste
Second hand emotion, plastic smiles
Robotic sex, all shapes and styles
It's easy, to lose your way
When style over substance, rules the day...
Chorus:
Synthetic Flavors, pre-programmed thought
Analogue life, sold and bought
Artificial colors, synthetic taste
Analogue life, gone to waste

Living on Video was instantly catchy when I first heard it, and the rest of the album is equally compelling!
