Oblivion

Appears on A

"Hey where's this party going," 
He asked surveying the scene 
Little worlds keeping busy 
Midst the tizzy of the dancing and the revelry 

"Hey darling, what's your function? 
Do you need rest or a thrill? 
If the fear doesn't get you," she whispered 
"Well baby, then the boredom will" 

Neurons firing all night long 
There ain't no sleep without some static on 

Just keep the party going 
There isn't time here to think 
Coke up the warriors 
And numb all the others with another drink 

Now everybody's gotta get in line 
Before they notice that they're out of time 

Get that music pumping 
And conga into the sun 
The shockwave's coming so 
Keep 'em humming to oblivion 
Oh 

He feels the panic growing 
"Was that my heart or the drums?" 
Now the floor won't stop quaking 
Midst the shaking of the bodies as the big one comes 

The fever keeps them going 
The orgy can't be contained 
As explosions of light 
Fill the night with the prose of the final page 

Whoever thought that it would end this way? 
Say goodbye to the human race 

Get that music pumping 
And conga into the sun 
The shockwave's coming so 
Keep 'em humming to oblivion 
The shockwave's coming so 
Keep 'em humming to oblivion 
Oh 

Whoever thought that it would end this way? 
Say goodbye to the human race 

Get that music pumping 
And conga into the sun 
The shockwave's coming so 
Keep 'em humming to oblivion 
Get that music pumping 
And conga into the sun 
The shockwave's coming so 
Keep 'em humming to oblivion 
The shockwave's coming so 
Keep 'em humming to oblivion 
The shockwave's coming so 
Keep 'em humming to oblivion 
Oh 

The legion liquifies 
Minds have entered a fugue 
As he melts into nothing 
He still feels the rhythm of the endless groove
