Devo - Psychology Of Desire Lyrics

first he took a speck of dirt
and made a man

then he made a woman
from a grain of sand

they saw each other
and they got confused

now they get together
but they feel used

magnetic trumpets blowing
synthetic saxophones
the evidence was growing
from below
hidden motivations
buried in the past
still keeps them fighting over
love, love, love
signals start to travel
from a distant place

capture-latches activate
they're face to face

point and circle interlock
and begin exchange

lights go out, electroshock
the pleasure pain

magnetic trumpets blowing
synthetic saxophones
the evidence was growing
from below
hidden motivations
buried in the past
still keeps them fighting
over love
the psychology of desire
getting ready for the feast
the psychology of desire
it's the nature of the beast
the psychology of desire
sometimes last but never least
the psychology of desire
boy and girl
both drift apart, they
reconnect
history repeats in order
it must protect

still they get together
cos it does the trick

even so, they scream and cry
they make each other
sick
magnetic trumpets blowing
synthetic saxophones
the evidence was growing
from below
hidden motivations
buried in the past
still keeps them fighting
over love
