Hello. This is Devo.
We would like to say things go both ways. New ideas, stupid moves, nightmares or dreams come true. Mucho work minus play, tension mounts in a twisted face. Dark clouds in a crystal ball, tension mounts in a foreign place. The screw turns, someone calls: TIME OUT FOR FUN! So you're living under the gun. Circumstances have you on the run. A doctor frowns, you feel bad. Take this! You've just been had! Don't you lose it - now listen to us: EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT! Take a break - take some time; EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT! Don't you lose it - remember to take TIME OUT FOR FUN! So your life has just begun. Somebody else is saying that it's done. Nurses whisper, others grin - Something's funny at your expense again! Don't you lose it - now listen to us: EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT! Take a break - take some time; EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT! Don't you lose it - remember to take TIME OUT FOR FUN! |

Peek-a-boo!
I can see you And I know what you do So put your hands on your face And cover up your eyes Don't look until I signal Peek-a-boo! peek-a-boo! peek-a-boo! The way that we weren't is what we'll become So please pay attention while I show you some Of what's about to happen Peek-a-boo! I know what you do Cause I do it too Laugh if you want to or say you don't care If you cannot see it you think it's not there It doesn't work that way |

She's out of sync
And everyone around her Knows that something is wrong She's out of sync She's got all the symptoms Of a girl who skipped a beat She's out of sync A piece of ancient history She's a walking mirage She's out of sync She entered through the exit And never stopped to think She's out of sync she's a half Step behind She's out of luck her body split from Her mind She's out of orbit she'll never connect She'll run out of time before she Accepts she's out of sync She's out of sync (sync) She's out of sync (sync) She's out of sync Everybody senses There s a distance to keep She's out of sync And totally committed To living in a dark age She's out of sync Constantly undoing What's already been done She's out of sync Trapped in a silent movie And she's on the brink She's out of focus She's a warp in time She's discontinued A break in the line |

We like explosions that leave you feeling good
We like ideas that change the world for good There's nothing past the stop 'n' go There's nothing but the ebb and flow There's nothing like some in and out There's nothing more than what you know We like new places that jets can't take you to We do like music when it does what it should do Yes oh yeah Yes oh yeah Yes (we like) oh yeah (explosions) Yes (we like) oh yeah (explosions) We like explosions it's only right we should We like ideas we thought you understood We like new places until they're overrun We do like music, loud shots from the big spudgun |

Everybody it's a good thing
Everybody wants a good thing Everybody ain't it true that Everybody's looking for the same thing Ain't it true there's just no doubt There's some things that you can't do without And that's good Ain't it true as the sun that shines You got yours and you got mine And that's good Everybody just like you it's true Everybody wants a good thing too Everybody it's a good thing Everybody wants a good thing Everybody ain't it true that Everybody's looking for the same thing Ain't it true there's room for doubt Maybe some things that you can do without And that's good Everybody just like you it's true Everybody wants a good thing too Now let's have a great big hand For everybody who can understand Life's a bee without a buzz It's going great till you get stung And let us not forget to toast Everyone who might have missed the boat And to everybody else who waits Until the next one sails in again [Repeats] Everybody it's a good thing Ain't it true it's a monumental good thing |

Patterns all around you
Patterns everywhere Patterns of behavior Sometimes seem unfair Can you recognize the patterns that you find? Patterns unfamiliar Patterns lead you through (to) Patterns of discovery Tracing out the clues Can you recognize the patterns that you find? Stuck in your mind In this land where stability is hard to find You can rearrange the patterns so unkind Don't bother asking why a pattern never cries Old patterns never die they just go on and on Patterns multiplying Re-direct our view Endless variations Make it all seem new |

I desire I desire
I pledge allegiance to the thought That your love is all that matters And your gestures have the power To bring the whole world to its knees Don't let me torment you Don't let me bring you down Don't ever let me hurt you Don't let me fail because I desire your attention I desire your perfect love I desire nothing more (than this) To give you happiness Could become a lifetime goal A smile I might bring you Is more important than world peace I pledge allegiance to the fact That you're wise to walk away For nothing is more dangerous Than desire when it's wrong |

I've been walking in a deep sleep;
Sleepwalking, but I just woke up From a deep sleep. A very deep sleep. I've been running on remote control, In a deep sleep. I awoke the moment I was told That a smile is just a frown turned around, On the face of a clown with a mean streak. It was a deep sleep, A very deep sleep. I can't remember what I used to know. Somebody help me now and let me go. Into a deep sleep. Push me back, now let me go Into a dream again. To a sleep unlike before, So deep it never ends. I've been caught inside a deep sleep, Sinking deeper after I forgot. Sleepwalking, as I watch myself, In a deep sleep. I keep pretending that it's someone else. |

She sings from somewhere you can't see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree She sends out an aroma of undefined love It drips on down in a mist from above She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want You hear her calling everywhere you turn You know you're headed for the pleasure burn But the words get stuck on the tip of your tongue She's the real thing but you knew it all along She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want Look at you with your mouth watering Look at you with your mind spinning Why don't we just admit it's all over She's just the girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, just the girl The girl you want She sings from somewhere you can't see She sits in the top of the greenest tree She sends out an aroma of undefined lust It drips on down in a mist from above She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want Look at you with your mouth watering Look at you with your mind spinning Why don't we just admit it's all over She's just the girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl |

Twist away the gates of steel
Unlock the secret voice Give in to ancient noise Take a chance a brand new dance Twist away the gates of steel Twist away Now twist and shout The earth it moves too slow But the earth is all we know We pay to play the human way Twist away the gates of steel A man is real Not made of steel But the earth is all we know We pay to play the human way Twist away the gates of steel The beginning was the end Of everything now The ape regards his tail He's stuck on it Repeats until he fails Half a goon and half a god A man's not made of steel Twist away Now twist and shout The earth it moves too slow But the earth is all we know We pay to play the human way Twist away the gates of steel A man is real that's how he feels |
