back to saturn x
the lifeblood - the lighthouse flashing
16 chicks remain on watch
sopor joe, you oughta know
how to move fast
how to move slow
here come the fantasy creeps
they're all around you
they're here to give you the creeps
they've come to hound you
back to saturn x!
we are having the time of our lives
we are having the time of your lives
from the left (oh la la la...)
to the right
anything for free
anything for free
off and onward
in the chance i took
i'm a broken horse
i'm the one who's no good in your eyes
anything for free
anything for free
ergo space pig
(the whole song is in A, i think, with noise and weird bass-lines)
ocean pigs are still getting cats
we have submerged
and when you've been watching
over and over
speed up, slow down

come in, come in, the devil star pupil
he is the fuzz
how do you get that
radio wave wipeout?
should you get on?
?!?!?!?!?
