Last night, I saw it fall out of the heavens
It was gleaming chrome with red lettering
It had a handle
Two meters, a knob for the volume
Show me how this thing works
Show me how this thing works
Will it make me rich? Will it make me glad?
Will it make me love for all humanity?
Will it keep my poor and aching heart at bay (oh, oh, oh)
Will it glow at night? Will it make a hum?
Will it make the girls think that I'm less geeky?

We took it down to the physics laboratory
Police had the building mostly quartered off
A crowd was gathered, there were TV cameras
Show me how this thing works
Show me how this thing works
Will it make me rich? Will it get me high?
Will it look good with the rest of my furniture?
Will it make a soft and pleasing tone at night (oh, oh, oh)
Will it heal the sick? Will it feed the poor?
Will it give me everything I ever dreamed of?
Show me how this thing works
Show me how this thing works
Show me how this thing works
Show me how this thing works
Will it make me rich? Will it make me wise?
Will it give my empty love a little bit of meaning?
Will it make the lions lay on down with the lambs (oh, oh, oh)
Will it cure this rush? Will it give us cash?
Will it do all this without a serious side effect?
