FUNKENSTEIN’S ACCELERATOR, burning through the pace,) (The fastest funky rhythm in the human race!) [Verse 1 (Male 1)] Dr. Funkenstein is on the switch, turning up the gear! (Hush! Hush! Hush!) Deep inside the bunker where the atmosphere is clear, (Speed!) Every gear is grinding with a sonic velvet bite, (Faster! Faster! Faster!) Turning all the stillness to a frantic, laser light! (Higher—er—er—er—er!) [Verse 2 (Male 2)] Signals flipping red to green, ten times in a blink, (Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!) World is getting smaller, teetering upon the brink, (Flash! Flash! Flash!) Coffee evaporating hot before I even drink, (Speed! Speed! Speed!) Gravity is breaking as the metal joints all sink! (Higher—er—er—er—er!) [Verse 3 (Female)] Afterimages trail behind my feet upon the floor, (Fast! Fast! Fast!) Shadows flying miles away, opening the door, (Hush! Hush! Hush!) People dancing wildly like they’ve never danced before, (Speed!) (Whew... I’m out of breath...) Struggling to keep up for more! (Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!) [Pre-Chorus] Clock is spinning, world is thinning, life is blurring out, (Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!) No time to think, no time to blink, no time for any doubt, (Speed!)

Living life in fragments at a terrifying base! (Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!) [Verse 5 (Male 1)] Everything is melting into streams of pure vibration, (Speed! Speed! Speed!) Every soul is caught inside this forced acceleration, (Flash! Flash! Flash!) Lost within the loop of a mechanical salvation, (Hush! Hush! Hush!) Witnessing the collapse of a weary civilization! (Higher—er—er—er—er!) [Bridge] [Mu-Tron Clavinet/Rhodes solo/Synth pads] The moon is racing round the earth, the day and night collide, (Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!) Afro spinning, sunglasses on, there’s nowhere left to hide! (Hush! Hush! Hush!) This isn't music anymore, it’s life inside the wire, (Higher—er—er—er—er!) (Whew... help me...) The doctor’s testing forced decay, setting souls on fire! (Speed! Speed! Speed!) We’re particles of funk in a collider made of dreams, (Faster! Faster! Faster!) Tearing through the fabric at the splitting of the seams! (Flash! Flash! Flash!) [Verse 6 (Female)] Step by step, the landscape flies, a blur of golden light, (Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!) Dancing through the intervals, inside the frantic sight, (Fast! Fast! Fast!) Vibrations echo deep within the silence of the night, (Higher—er—er—er—er!) Holding on to rhythm till we vanish out of sight! (Speed!) [Verse 7 (Male 2)] Every beat a heartbeat pounding, synchronized in time, (Higher—er—er—er—er!) Overclocking reality, in this funky rhyme, (Speed! Speed! Speed!) (Whew... can't catch up...) Forever stepping, never resting, life is just a spark, (Hush! Hush! Hush!) In Funkenstein’s accelerator, glowing in the dark! (Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!) [Pre-Chorus] Clock is spinning, world is thinning, life is blurring out, (Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!) No time to think, no time to blink, no time for any doubt, (Speed!) He’s cranking up the tempo till the pulse begins to shout! (Faster! Faster! Faster!) [Melodic Chorus] (DR. FUNKENSTEIN’S ACCELERATOR, we are moving high,) (Everything is flashing like a pulsar in the sky,) (DR. FUNKENSTEIN’S ACCELERATOR, burning through the pace,) (The fastest funky rhythm in the human race!) [Outro] (Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!) (Speed!) (Higher—er—er—er—er!) (Fast! Fast! Fast!) (Flash! Flash! Flash!) [Turntable Scratches/Fade out]
