’83 Foxx and I

[Verse 1]
Foxx and I
Have the Roland TB-303
I should think it will be easy
Miming on 'Top of the Pops'

[Verse 2]
Foxx and I
Liberated from emotions
Exploring other oceans
What use have we for hell?

[Chorus]
Anyone can change into a machine--
Girl or white, black or boy
Dull or very strange-- into a machine
Come with me

[Verse 3]
Foxx and I
Making pictures of tomorrow’s sun
Just to prove that there is one
The future says hello

[Spoken Interlude]
There is sometimes an interlude
Bucolic and serene
Beneath a sky non-repro blue
And grass of green screen green
I’ll zoom by on my jetpack
I can’t wait to be sixteen
I can’t wait to be sixteen

[Verse 4]
Foxx and I
Decades later at my DJ night
Our conversation takes flight
Kraftwerk and clavichords

[Verse 5]
Foxx and I
Backstage at Cadogan Hall
Not like rockstars at all
Why would we want to be?

[Chorus x2]
Anyone can change into a machine--
Girl or white, black or boy
Dull or very strange-- into a machine
Come with me

Anyone can change into a machine--
Girl or white, black or boy
Dull or very strange-- into a machine
Come with me
