[Intro]
[A single, heavily distorted electric guitar riff chugs in low: E — G — A]
[Drums enter: THUMP-THUMP-CLAP! THUMP-THUMP-CLAP!]
[A high-pitched synthesizer slide screams down from the ceiling]
[Verse 1]
I crashed my capsule in a Soho dive
Just a diamond dog tryin’ to stay alive
The streets were grey, the rain was cold
Until I painted the pavement with liquid gold!
I got a six-string ray gun strapped to my hip
And a sneer curling up on my velvet lip.
The radio’s dead, the static is thick
But I’ve got the medicine, I’ve got the trick!
[Pre-Chorus]
[Bass guitar starts walking up the scale aggressively]
They say, "Hey boy, you look like a girl!"
I say, "Hey honey, I’m from another world!"
Turn up the amp ‘til the speakers blow
Are you ready? (Are you ready?)
LET’S GO!
[Chorus]
[Explosion of sound, tambourines, massive backing vocals]
Give me Lipstick and Lightning!
A supersonic love that’s frightening!
Get your platform boots on the killing floor
We don’t wanna be human anymore!
Oh-oh-oh!
Just give me the glitter!
Oh-oh-oh!
Leave the rest for the bitter!
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
[Drum beat continues, bass gets funkier]
Now the boys in the back are putting on the rouge
And the heavy metal kids are catching the groove
We’re sequined saviors in a satin mess
Sending SOS signals in a leopard-print dress.
Don’t look at the clock, time is a lie
We’re gonna live forever or we’re gonna die!
So light up a match and burn down the gloom
There’s a starman waiting in the dressing room!
[Pre-Chorus]
[Guitar feedback swells]
They say, "Hey freak, you’re way too loud!"
I say, "Hey baby, look at the crowd!"
Turn up the gain ‘til the windows crack
There is no turning back!
[Chorus]
[Maximum Volume]
Give me Lipstick and Lightning!
A supersonic love that’s frightening!
Get your platform boots on the killing floor
We don’t wanna be human anymore!
Oh-oh-oh!
Just give me the glitter!
Oh-oh-oh!
Leave the rest for the bitter!
[Bridge]
[Music drops out except for a spacey synthesizer and a slow kick drum]
[Spoken deep and breathy]:
From the dust of the nebula… to the gutter of the street.
We are the dreamers that you fear to meet.
Make. Some. Noise.
[Drum roll builds up fast like a machine gun]
[Screaming falsetto]
OWWWWW!
[Guitar Solo]
[A soaring, melodic dual-guitar harmony solo. Think Brian May style. Lots of bends and sustain.]
[Final Chorus]
[Key change - Up one whole step]
Give me Lipstick and Lightning!
A supersonic love that’s frightening!
Get your platform boots on the killing floor
We don’t wanna be human anymore!
Oh-oh-oh!
Just give me the glitter!
Oh-oh-oh!
Leave the rest for the bitter!
[Outro]
[Heavy rhythmic chugging]
Lipstick! (Lightning!)
Lipstick! (Lightning!)
Keep your feet on the ground!
Keep your head in the clouds!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, YEAAAAHHH!
[Big final power chord rings out]
[Feedback fades into silence]
