Rapture

[Intro: Andy Bell]
[non-lexical singing]

Rapture
Rapture

[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
Toe to toe
Dancing very close
Barely breathing
Almost comatose

Wall to wall
People hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in rapture

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
Back to back
Sacroiliac
Spineless movement
And a wild attack

Face to face
Sightless solitude
And it's finger-popping
24-hour shopping in rapture

[Bridge: Vince Clarke & (Andy Bell)]
Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly
O.J. spinning; I said, "My, my"
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
François c'est pas, Flash [?]

And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car
And you drive real far
And you drive all night
Then you see the light
And it comes right down
And it lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run, but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead
And he eats your head

And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out all night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercury and Subaru

So, you don't stop
You keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night
And eat up bars
Where the people meet
Face-to-face
Dance cheek-to-cheek
One-to-one, man-to-man
Dance toe-to-toe, don't move too slow
'Cause the man from Mars is through with cars
He's eatin' bars, yeah, wall-to-wall
Door-to-door, hall-to-hall
He's gonna eat them all

Rap-ture, be pure
Take a tour
Through the sewer
Don't strain your brain
Paint the train
You'll be singin' in the rain
And you don't stop
To punk rock

[Refrain: Andy Bell]
Rapture
Rapture

[Verse 3: Andy Bell]
Toe to toe, dancing very close
Barely breathing, almost comatose
Wall to wall, people hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in rapture

Rapture
Rapture

[Conclusion: Vince Clarke & And Bell]
Well, now you see
What you want'a be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars
Won't eat up bars where the TV's on

Now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have to hassle with the human race
And you hip hop, and you don't stop
(Human race, human race)
Just blast off, sure shot
(Human race, human race)
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars
(Human race, human race)
And eatin' bars and now he only eats guitars
Get up

(Get up!)
(Get up!)

Rapture
(Human race, human race, human race, human race, human race, human race)
Rapture

Rapture
Rapture
