From the recording The Heavenly Zoo
Beneath the sizeable arrangement — all on guitar and guitar synth, even the drums — is the sordid little tale of a boy and his machine.
Lyrics
if you want me
come and get me
don’t know why you’re standing there
so near me, clearly you’re not going anywhere
and I’d like to announce that an ounce of prevention
is hardly a match for my latest invention
it's new
turn it on
it hums and it builds to a grind
it pops
and it whirs
it clicks
it'll mess with your mind
it goes ahhhhh and it gets your attention
it goes ahhhhh and it gets your attention
it goes ahhhhh
attention
when I get you
where I want you
in a state you’ve never been
a state of wonder under the control of my machine
and I’d like to announce that an ounce of prevention
is hardly a match for my latest invention
it's new
turn it on
it hums and builds to a grind
it pops
and it whirs
it clicks
it'll mess with your mind
it goes ahhhhh and it gets your attention
it goes ahhhhh and it gets your attention
it goes ahhhhh
attention
here's to my latest invention
