Rapture Lyrics - Erasure

(written by Stein/Harry) 

Toe to toe dancing very close 

Body breathing almost comatose 

Wall to wall people hypnotized 

And they're stepping lightly 

Hang each night in rapture 

Back to back sacraliliac 

Spineless movement and a wild attack 

Face to face sightless solitude 

And it's finger popping 

Twentyfour hour shopping in rapture

Fab Five Freddy told me 

Everybody's fly 

DJ spinning I said, "My, my" 

Flash is fast 

Flash is cool 

Francois c'est pas flashe non due 

And you don't stop sure shot 

Go out to the parking lot 

And you get in your car 

And drive real far 

And you drive all night 

And then you see a light 

And it comes right down 

And it lands on the ground 

And out comes 

The man from Mars 

And you try to run 

But he's got a gun 

And he shoots you dead 

And he eats your head 

And then you're in the man from Mars 

You go out at night eating cars 

Photos 

You eat Cadillacs 

Lincolns too 

Mercury's and Subaru 

And you don't stop 

You keep on eating cars 

Then when there's no more cars 

you go out at night 

And eat up bars 

where the people meet 

Face to face 

Dance cheek to cheek 

One to one 

Man to man 

Dance toe to toe 

Don't move too slow 

'cause the man from Mars 

Is through with cars 

He's eating bars 

Yeah wall to wall 

Door to door 

Hall to hall 

He's gonna eat 'em all 

Rapture 

Be pure 

Take a tour 

Through the sewer 

Don't strain your brain 

Paint the train 

You'll be singing in the rain 

Said don't stop 

To the punk rock 

Well now you see 

What you wanna be 

Just have your party on TV 

'Cause the man from Mars 

Won't eat up bars 

Where the TV's on 

And now he's gone back up to space 

Where he won't have 

A hassle with the human race 

And you hip hop 

And you don't stop 

Just blast off sure shot 

Because the man from Mars 

Stopped eating cars 

And eating bars 

And now he only eats guitars 

Get up! 

(get up!) 

Rapture 

(human race, human race, human race) 

Rapture 

Rapture... 

(rapture...)
