Some make you sing and some make you scream,
One makes you wish that you'd never been seen.
But there's a shop on the corner that's selling papier-mache,
Making bullet-proof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay.
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing.

Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head

Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah!
