The Super Thing Lyrics - Duty Now For The Future / New Traditionalists - Devo

Today what does it take to do the super thing 

I'll tell you what it takes a very simple thing 

Iron nerves like the pilot of a jumbo jet 

Or a girl on the go who hasn't got there yet 

Magnetic trumpets blowing 

Synthetic saxophone 

The evidence kept growing 

From below 

Hidden motivations 

Buried in the past 

Still gives us strength 

For the super thing

The red alarm a rude surprise every time it rings 

Means it's time to go beyond the normal thing 

Pay attention and be prepared to do it right 

The super thing the thing that makes you bigger than life 

Won't you tell me what it takes 

To do the super thing

Signals start to travel from a distant place 

Lights go out electro shock then pleasure pain 

Sensations unfamiliar can make you sick 

It's a superhuman thing and it does the trick
