Lyrics

Intro

Crank the voltage set the stage alive

Spinning dials as the speech circuits jive

Thomas strolls in with a spark in his glove

His glasses read out frequencies above

Verse 0

Blueprints scattered on a neon screen

He hums in numbers while my lasers preen

He tips his head, flips the voice to low

Vocoder laughter, modulate the show

Pre-Pre-Chorus

Fizz-pop giggle from the spectral haze

Laser beans bouncing in ultraviolet rays

("Aha! Try this!")

Chorus

Bleep bloop binary in my brain

Glitch the grid and loop the rain

Bleep bloop I rewired the moon

Now my coffee sends morse to June

Post-Chorus

Bloop bleep

Bloop bleep bloop

Bloop bleep

Fizz fizz zap

Outro

Oh the garden gate hums a waltz at noon

And my pet rock grooves to a four-note tune

Come on over when the voltage's right

And we'll bleep and bloop all night

Bleep

Bridge

Turn my whistle to a sine wave hum

Patch the cables while the drummers go numb

Dolby flips a switch and the floorboards... no wait

He flips a switch and the floor takes flight

We ride the phaser through the living room

My toaster starts to sing in tune

Drop

Zap zap zonk

The oscilloscope goes wobbly-wonk

Zap zap zonk

Rat-a-tat-tat from the analog trunk

Verse 3

His lab coat crackles with electric stripes

He recalibrates my flux capacitor pipes

I hand him a wrench, he hands me a chord

We build a chorus that the past can't afford

The kettles whistle in a minor key

And every blender joins the symphony

Pre-Chorus

Squeak-groan chirp from the tape delay

We got frequencies for

Verse 5

Dolby pulls a lever from his vest

My meteor detector fails its test

We splice a pizza box into the rack

And every oscilloscope starts talking back

A theramin weeps in sodium blue

The grandfather clock plays calypso too

Pre-Chorus

Clang-twang-thump from the satellite dish

We got sound effects for every wish

("Watch this one!")

Chorus

Bleep bloop binary in my brain

Glitch the grid and loop the rain

Bleep bloop I rewired the stars

Now my bathtub broadcasts on Mars

Post-Chorus

Zonk ploop

Zonk ploop zonk

Fizz fizz foom

Clack

Drop

Whirr-rattle-klick

My shoe emits a synthwave tick

Whirr-rattle-klick

The neighbors' plants start doing tricks

Verse 6

He patches my blender to the satellite map

My ceiling fans do a lunar wrap

I unplug the moon, she gives a shrug

Dolby giggles and melts the rug

Every power line in town goes pink

And my goldfish learns to blink in sync

Bridge

Sirens wobble like a jellyfish

My fireplace makes a keyboard swish

Dolby stacks an amp on the chandelier

And the whole block starts to cheer

Drop

Squelch-snap-vroom

The front lawn goes ka-bloom

Squelch-snap-vroom

Static hair on my pet raccoon

Chorus

Bleep bloop binary in my brain

Glitch the grid and loop the rain

Bleep bloop I rewired the sun

Now my shoelaces orchestrate for fun

Post-Chorus

Zonk ploop

Zonk ploop zonk

Fizz blip ploop

Snap snap fizz

Verse 7

Dolby calibrates the washing line

It starts to hum a song from 1999

I feed the vocoder a piece of toast

It comes back singing like a church choir ghost

My socks synchronize in perfect fours

And drum on the gnome like crashing doors

Pre-Chorus

Pop-sizzle-vroom from the vacuum tube

We turned the garage into a sonic cube

("Give it beans!")

Final Chorus

Bleep bloop binary in my brain

Glitch the grid and loop the rain

Bleep bloop I rewired the sky

Now my front door says goodbye with a sigh

Final Post-Chorus

Zonk ploop

Zonk ploop zonk

Fizz fizz foop

Bloop

Outro

Dolby dusts his hands and taps

Bonus Verse

My slippers shuffle and the circuits wink

Dolby spins a dial, my curtains blink

He codes a limerick in bass and treble

And AI starts a conga on the coffee table

Bonus Post-Chorus

Zip-zap

Blip bop blip

Woo-wee-zong

Blap-blap snap

Outro Tag

So if you hear a giggle from your fridge at noon

Just know Thomas Dolby’s coming back soon

Bleep!
