Stay One Step Ahead

[Mutants]
You gotta stay one step ahead
Stay one step ahead
Tune in to what’s happening, boy
And stay one step ahead

[Baron von Frankenstein]
When they tell you “read page one,”
Read three more and you’ll find
That the very next day when you are done
The group is way behind

[Mutants]
You gotta stay one step ahead
Stay one step ahead
Tune in to what’s happening, boy
And stay one step ahead

[Baron von Frankenstein]
Why not keep it to yourself?
Stay away from the pack
When you’re ready to fly, they’ll start to cry
And wish they had the knack

[Mutants]
You gotta stay one step ahead
Stay one step ahead
Tune in to what’s happening, boy
And stay one step ahead

(brief instrumental pause as the mutants sneak up behind Felix and surprise him)

[Baron von Frankenstein]
You gotta get up from that bed
And start a little ahead
Or some other bright guy will steal the pie
Come on, boy. Use your head

[Mutants]
You gotta stay one step ahead
Stay one step ahead
Tune in to what’s happening, boy
And stay one step ahead

[Baron von Frankenstein]
Keep your head out of the sand
Pick the apple that’s ripe
Or the very next day, it’s going to fall
In someone else’s hand

[Mutants]
You gotta stay one step ahead
Stay one step ahead
Tune in to what’s happening, boy
And stay one step ahead

You gotta stay one step ahead
Stay one step ahead
Tune in to what’s happening, boy
And stay one step…ahead!
