Devo - The Super Thing lyrics

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 the pilot of a jumbo jet Or a girl on the go who hasn't got there yet Magnetic trumpets blowing Synthetic saxophone The evidence kept growing From below Hidden motivations Buried in the past Still gives 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 the thing that makes you bigger than life Won't you tell me what it takes To do the super thing Signals start to travel from a distant place Lights go out electro shock then pleasure pain Sensations unfamiliar can make you sick It's a superhuman thing and it does the trick
