[INTRO] (Heavy, arpeggiated analog bassline starts alone. Metallic percussion clangs on the off-beat.) (Drums kick in hard: Kick-Snare-Kick-Snare) [VERSE 1] (Vocals are low, close to the microphone, almost whispered but menacing) The clock strikes numbers on the screen The daylight dies, the air is clean The static noise begins to fade Into the shade, into the shade I’ve functioned well, I’ve kept the pace But I hate the light upon my face And when the grid goes black... The system calls. The silence falls. [PRE-CHORUS] (Synth pads swell, sounding like air raid sirens. Tension builds.) I need the friction I need the spark I need a target in the dark The sensor scans for life nearby We live to dance, we wait to die! [CHORUS] (Aggressive, shouted, staccato delivery) I want to crash into a body! I want to feel the heat inside a body! Yeah, I want to move against a body! With a body that controls me! I want to crash into a body! I want to feel the steam rise off a body! Yeah, I want to move against a body! With a body that controls me! [VERSE 2] (Bassline becomes more complex, bubbling and squelching) Logic lost, systems down Spinning through the concrete town Sooner or later the engine stalls And the empty echo of the hallway calls I require a human frame To share the guilt, to share the blame A love that burns like neon gas Nothing here is built to last! [PRE-CHORUS] (Percussion drops out for two measures, just the pulsing bass) So when the grid goes black... My wiring calls. (Scream) GO! [CHORUS] I want to crash into a body! I want to feel the heat inside a body! Yeah, I want to move against a body! With a body that controls me! I want to crash into a body! I want to feel the steam rise off a body! Yeah, I want to move against a body! With a body that controls me! [BRIDGE] (Music strips back to a minimal, rhythmic industrial clang) Some-body. (Hah!) Some-body. (Hah!) Some-body to command me. (Yeah!) Some-body. (Hah!) Some-body. (Hah!) To lock me in their arms. (No!) I need a human frame! To take the chance! On a fire that consumes the dance! [OUTRO] (Full chaotic industrial noise, layers of synths, heavy reverb) So when the night falls! The signal calls! DANCE! (Heavy drum break) Do you want to move with me? (Negative/Positive) Do you want to move with me? (Flesh and Steel) Hey, don't you want to crash with me, baby? With a body that controls me? DANCE. Say you want to. DANCE. Say you want to. DANCE. Ah-ha. With a body that controls me. Terminate. (Sudden silence)
