[Intro] [A single, heavily distorted electric guitar riff chugs in low: E — G — A] [Drums enter: THUMP-THUMP-CLAP! THUMP-THUMP-CLAP!] [A high-pitched synthesizer slide screams down from the ceiling] [Verse 1] I crashed my capsule in a Soho dive Just a diamond dog tryin’ to stay alive The streets were grey, the rain was cold Until I painted the pavement with liquid gold! I got a six-string ray gun strapped to my hip And a sneer curling up on my velvet lip. The radio’s dead, the static is thick But I’ve got the medicine, I’ve got the trick! [Pre-Chorus] [Bass guitar starts walking up the scale aggressively] They say, "Hey boy, you look like a girl!" I say, "Hey honey, I’m from another world!" Turn up the amp ‘til the speakers blow Are you ready? (Are you ready?) LET’S GO! [Chorus] [Explosion of sound, tambourines, massive backing vocals] Give me Lipstick and Lightning! A supersonic love that’s frightening! Get your platform boots on the killing floor We don’t wanna be human anymore! Oh-oh-oh! Just give me the glitter! Oh-oh-oh! Leave the rest for the bitter! Yeah! [Verse 2] [Drum beat continues, bass gets funkier] Now the boys in the back are putting on the rouge And the heavy metal kids are catching the groove We’re sequined saviors in a satin mess Sending SOS signals in a leopard-print dress. Don’t look at the clock, time is a lie We’re gonna live forever or we’re gonna die! So light up a match and burn down the gloom There’s a starman waiting in the dressing room! [Pre-Chorus] [Guitar feedback swells] They say, "Hey freak, you’re way too loud!" I say, "Hey baby, look at the crowd!" Turn up the gain ‘til the windows crack There is no turning back! [Chorus] [Maximum Volume] Give me Lipstick and Lightning! A supersonic love that’s frightening! Get your platform boots on the killing floor We don’t wanna be human anymore! Oh-oh-oh! Just give me the glitter! Oh-oh-oh! Leave the rest for the bitter! [Bridge] [Music drops out except for a spacey synthesizer and a slow kick drum] [Spoken deep and breathy]: From the dust of the nebula… to the gutter of the street. We are the dreamers that you fear to meet. Make. Some. Noise. [Drum roll builds up fast like a machine gun] [Screaming falsetto] OWWWWW! [Guitar Solo] [A soaring, melodic dual-guitar harmony solo. Think Brian May style. Lots of bends and sustain.] [Final Chorus] [Key change - Up one whole step] Give me Lipstick and Lightning! A supersonic love that’s frightening! Get your platform boots on the killing floor We don’t wanna be human anymore! Oh-oh-oh! Just give me the glitter! Oh-oh-oh! Leave the rest for the bitter! [Outro] [Heavy rhythmic chugging] Lipstick! (Lightning!) Lipstick! (Lightning!) Keep your feet on the ground! Keep your head in the clouds! Yeah, yeah, yeah, YEAAAAHHH! [Big final power chord rings out] [Feedback fades into silence]
