This is one of the few songs with lyrics in the Man or Astro-Man? catalogue. As such, it’s particularly apt that it should be an apostrophe to the band’s electronic audio equipment – perhaps even to a specific component on one circult that’s creating a 60-cycle ground loop.
A “pipkin”, by the way,...
Microphone
Take this sound
Propel it through their ear canals
I can hear it now
It's coming in loud
[Chorus]
It's the hum I hear
The circuit is clear
60 cycles of sound
I could blow a fuse
Cut me to lose
My force field down
Stereo speaker
Take this voice
Transform it into background noise
Just for one instant
I can short the distance
[Chorus]
It's the hum I hear
The circuit is clear
60 cycles of sound
I could blow a fuse
Cut me to lose
My force field down
How long can I wait
For your hesitations?
And how long can I sit still in suspended animation?
I've seen this one before, seen this one before
Didn't want to see it anymore
[Chorus]
It's the hum I hear
The circuit is near
60 cycles of sound
I could blow a fuse
Cut me to lose
My force field down
