[Intro]
[Female Duo]
Hey, hey, pull the antenna
Left-left-right, make the picture better

[Male Baritone under]
Three channels
Two knobs
One glowing room

[Female Duo + Male Baritone]
Dad says quit banging the side of the tube

[Female Duo]
Beep beep
Doa-doa
Bip-bip-bip
Ha!

[Verse 1]
[Female Duo]
Shoulder pads marching through the kitchen
Power suit mother with the cordless twitching
Lipstick comet, compact mirror
Future looks big when the TV gets clearer

[Chorus]
[Female Duo]
It was the decade of the Walkman wire
Arcade eyes and a hairspray fire
Big hair, small cars, mall-light stars
Nickels in machines under candy-colored bars

[Choir overlaps]
Walkman wire!
Hairspray fire!
Higher! Higher!

[Female 1]
Perm so firm it could pick up stations

[Female Duo enters early]
Bang-bang bangs with strange vibrations
Pink in the sink, blue on the shoe
Neon made a map and we followed it through

[Choir overlaps]
Neon! Neon!
Go-go-go!

[Male Baritone under]
Man in the mall
With a keytar grin
Selling little machines
That eat tape within

[Female Duo]
Press play
Press stop
Rewind your head

[Female Duo + Male Baritone]
The carpet starts jumping when the gated drums hit

[Weird Break]
[Female Duo]
Doa-doa-doa
Beep beep
Zzz-zap
Ow!

[Male Baritone]
Do not adjust your set

[Chorus]
[Female Duo]
It was the decade of the Walkman wire
Arcade eyes and a hairspray fire
Big hair, small cars, mall-light stars
Nickels in machines under candy-colored bars

[Choir overlaps]
Walkman wire!
Hairspray fire!
Higher! Higher!

[Male Baritone under]
Under the stairs
With a battery stare
Listening for monsters

[Female Duo + Male Baritone]
In the modem air

[Female Duo]
VHS hearts and roller-rink nights
Sticker-book kids in electric tights

[Verse 2]
[Female Duo]
Sitcom doors and the laugh-track ceiling
Every fake room had a real strange feeling
Alien dolls on a cereal throne
Nobody lonely with a speakerphone

[Chorus]
[Female Duo]
It was the decade of the Walkman wire
Arcade eyes and a hairspray fire
Big hair, small cars, mall-light stars
Nickels in machines under candy-colored bars

[Choir overlaps]
Walkman wire!
Hairspray fire!
Higher! Higher!

[Female 2]
Preppy sweater tied like a private-school noose

[Female Duo enters early]
Breakfast club kids in a hallway zoo
Roller-rink pink, soda-fountain blue
Moonwalk shadows on a bedroom shoe

[Choir overlaps]
Moonwalk!
Boom box!
Tick-tick-tock!

[Male Baritone under]
Cartoon wolf
In designer jeans
Puppet on cable
Selling jellybean dreams

[Female Duo]
Stocks go pop
Boombox coughs

[Female Duo + Choir]
Everybody moonwalks when the synth stabs drop

[Choir]
Drop!
Drop!
Synth stab shock!

[Female Duo]
BMX knees and jelly shoes
Zapper light, basement fight
Who gets the last life Saturday night

[Weird Break]
[Female Duo]
Beep beep
Boop boop
Doa-doa-doa-doa

[Male Baritone under]
The mall is closed
But the mannequins know

[Female Duo + Choir]
No no no!
Go go go!
Laser face in a Polaroid glow!

[Bridge]
[Female Duo]
Who put the moon in a music video
Who made the mall learn overflow
Who made the jacket say bigger, bigger
Who made the snare drum pull the trigger

[Male Baritone under]
I did not say it was innocent
I said it glowed with intent
Plastic saints
Panic paint
Every little pleasure had a warning scent

[Female Duo]
We were latchkey loud
With a Polaroid cloud
And a pocket full of quarters

[Female Duo + Choir]
For the alien crowd

[Breakdown]
[Female Duo]
Leg warm
Storm form
High top
Pop shot

[Chorus]
[Female Duo]
It was the decade of the Walkman wire
Arcade eyes and a hairspray fire
Big hair, small cars, mall-light stars
Nickels in machines under candy-colored bars

[Choir overlaps]
Walkman wire!
Hairspray fire!
Higher! Higher!

[Female Duo]
Boombox fox
With a battery habit
Grab it
Jab it
Dance around it

[Weird Break]
[Female Duo]
Beep beep
Doa-doa
Krrr-krrr
Wow!

[Female 1]
Ow-ow-ow!

[Female Duo + Choir]
Doa-doa
Beep beep
Aaah!

[Male Baritone under]
Do not trust
The plastic dust

[Choir]
No!
No!
No!

[Final Chorus]
[Female Duo]
It was the decade of the Walkman wire
Arcade eyes and a hairspray fire
Big hair, small cars, mall-light stars
Nickels in machines under candy-colored bars

[Choir overlaps]
Walkman wire!
Hairspray fire!
Higher! Higher!

[Male Baritone under]
Under the stairs
With a battery stare
Listening for monsters

[Female Duo + Male Baritone]
In the modem air

[Female Duo]
VHS hearts and roller-rink nights
Sticker-book kids in electric tights

[Choir overlaps faster]
V-H-S!
No sleep yet!
Hey! Hey!
Turn it up!

[Outro]
[Female Duo]
Hey, hey, pull the antenna
