Science Fiction

Lyrics

Religious iconography givin' you the creeps?
 I feel rougher than a disco lizard tongue along your cheek
 The rise of the machines
 I must admit you gave me somethin' momentarily
 In which I could believe
 But the hand of harsh reality's un-gloved
 And it's on its way back in to scoop you up
 But not on my watch
 I wanna stay with you, my love
 The way some science fiction does
 ♪
 Reflections in the silver screen of strange societies
 Swamp monster with a hard-on for connectivity
 The ascension of the cream
 Mass panic on a not-too-distant future colony
 Quantitative easing
 I wanna make a simple point about peace and love
 But in a sexy way where it's not obvious
 Highlight dangers and send out hidden messages
 The way some science fiction does
 ♪
 The way some science fiction does
 
 Got the world on a wire
 In my little mirror, mirror on the wall
 In the pocket of my raincoat
 ♪
 So I tried to write a song to make you blush
 But I've a feeling that the whole thing
 May well just end up too clever for its own good
 ♪
 The way some science fiction does
