Lyrics[edit | edit source]

Oh, yeah!

I spent ten years, half my life
Just getting ready, then it was time
Warpage in the figures, radios appear
Midnight was the barrier, back in 1963

Each night, the covers were unfolded
Each night, it's Suzy's turn to ride
While Charles, the one they call her brother
Covers on his eyes
Murmurs in the background
"It will be time"

Oh, yeah!

Susan and her brother, Charles the grinning boy
Put me in the back seat, and they took me for a ride
Yeah, the radio was on, can't you dig the locomotion
Kingdoms of the radio, 45 RPM (Too much revolution, then)

Each night, the covers were unfolded
Each night, it’s Suzy's turn to ride
While Charles, the one they call her brother
Covers on his eyes
Murmurs in the background
"It will be time"

"It's past midnight," said Charles the grinning boy
And looking at me greedily, said, "It’s 1964"

In Times Square now, people do the polka
(Dominance) Submission (Radios appear)
This New Year’s Eve was the final barrier
(Dominance) Submission (Radios appear)
We took you up and we put you in the back seat
(Dominance) Submission (Radios appear)
From year to year we looked out for the venture
(Dominance) Submission (Radios appear)

(Dominance) Submission
(Dominance) Sub-mission
(Dominance) Sub-mission
(Dominance) Submission
(Dominance) Sub-mission
(Dominance) Sub-mission, sub-mission
(Dominance) Sub- submission, sub- sub-
(Dominance) Submission, submission
(Dominance) Submission, submission, submission
(Dominance) Sub- submission, submission
(Dominance) Submission, submission, submission
(Dominance) Sub- submission, sub- sub- submission
(Dominance) Submission, submission
(Dominance) Submission!
