Lyrics

I'll turn you on I'll turn you on To turn you on with To turn you on quick Tell me, what, what's the trip To turn you on quick Tell me, what, what's the trip To turn you on with Tell me, what, what's the trip To turn you on quick I'm a rational fella But I think I've gone nuts Just wanna be, wanna be Left alone and unwound Now the video sellers With their ifs ands or buts They follow me, how do we Turn this travesty down? It's as fast as a rocket ship Strange as a zoo See the common man dare (Dare for the man) If you care to Come on down to your local store now Can't you hear the voices Buy one, buy two More fun for you A hundred and one choices Kooky abstract dada Like they sell at alpha beta I wish I had a set of Orangutan babies A barkin' the blues The quack quack wa-wa Of the latter salad days are Media, media There's some that say TV Invented the blues Kooky abstract dada Like they sell at alpha beta I wish I had a set of Orangutan babies A barkin' the blues It's political power And the jungle book rules They wanna be, gotta be Messin' round with my calm In the critical hour It's the junk or the jewels They're fakin' it, makin' it Seem so utterly cool It's as fast as a rocket ship Strange as a zoo See the common man dare If you care to (dare for the man if you care to) Come on down to your local store now Can't you hear the voices Buy one, buy two More fun for you A hundred and one choices just for you Kooky abstract dada Like they sell at alpha beta I wish I had a set of Orangutan babies A barkin' the blues The quack quack wa-wa Of the latter salad days are Media, media There's some that say TV Invented the blues (Repeat over and over)
