lyrics

I went flying by - ‘til you plugged me in
I felt so artificial - count down, 92 will do
you’ll decide

uh huh, well OK
live or die
get me out of this stagnant sty

park me on top and plug me in
but please don’t pull the plug on me
pins and needles in my arms
pins and needles addict me to your care
you’ll decide
