Lyrics

Toe to toe

Dancing very close

Barely breathing

Almost comatose

Wall to wall

People hypnotized

And they're stepping lightly

Hang each night in rapture

Back to back

Sacroiliac

Spineless movement

And a wild attack

Face to face

Sadly solitude

And it's finger popping

24 hour shopping in rapture

Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's fly

DJ spinnin' are savin' my mind

Flash is fast

Flash is cool

François sait pas, Flashe no do

And you don't stop

Sure shot

Go out to the parking lot

And you get in your car and drive real far

And you drive all night and then you see a light

And it comes right down and lands on the ground

And out comes a man from Mars

And you try to run but he's got a gun

And he shoots you dead and he eats your head

And then you're in the man from Mars

You go out at night, eatin' cars

You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too

Mercurys and Subarus

And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars

Then when there's no more cars

You go out at night and eat up bars

Where the people meet

Face to face

Dance cheek to cheek

One to one

Man to man

Dance toe to toe

Don't move too slow

'Cause the man from Mars

Is through with cars

He's eatin' bars, yeah, wall to wall

Door to door

Hall to hall

He's gonna eat 'em all

Rapture

Be pure

Take a tour through the sewer

Don't strain your brain

Paint a train

You'll be singin' in the rain

Said, "Don't stop, do punk rock"

Man to man

Body muscular

Seismic decibel by the jugular

Wall to wall

Tea time technology

And a digital ladder

No sign of bad luck in rapture

Well, now you see what you wanna be

Just have your party on TV

'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars

Where the TV's on

Now he's gone back up to space

Where he won't have a hassle with the human race

And you hip hop and you don't stop

Just blast off, sure shot

'Cause the man from Mars

Stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars

And now he only eats guitars

Get up!
