You’re like a step function Always stepping over me Moving on to better things Not looking out for in between You keep on moving on You never notice me Despite my pleas And though I scream There’s no sympathy John, Matt, Alex, Dave, and Chip Weren’t deterred from your courtship Darling won’t you answer why it’s my love you’re refusing Pre-apologies for the mathematical allusion but You’re like a step function Always stepping over me Moving on to better things Not looking out for in between You keep on moving on I’m wise enough to put the pieces together It’s possible you could do better But if you took some time to read between the lines You might see me but You’re like a step function Always stepping over me Moving on to better things Not looking out for in between You keep on moving on Is your disposition evolutionary You treat me like I’m imaginary You say I’m half a man And that I understand But I don’t understand You’re like a step function Always stepping over me Moving on to better things Not looking out for in between You keep on moving on

Sometimes I wonder if a synth could fix a heartache, A bad relationship is better with a drum break, And is it all alright if I play the right chord? Sometimes I wonder if the lyrics make a difference, Could I change you with a romantic reference? If so, that's all I'll write - I'll steal it word for word So tell me now - what are you listening for (It's something I can't explain)

Radio waves traveling across the ground, Dance craze fueled by the DJ's sound, Electric motion is approaching people all around, It's dance I'm craving in this room of music mavens, I'm gonna turn this scene upside down I got a bright red button, gonna make you move (remote control rock and roll) I got a special something gonna make you groove (remote control rock and roll) And I wanna see you get down, wanna see you get down And I wanna see you get down, wanna see you get down Get down The house is burning down, flames filling up the room, We turn the volume up so we can raise the roof, Everybody do the robot, walk across the moon, Put your hands up in the air and direct your antennae where the signal source will be in tune I got a bright red button, gonna make you move (remote control rock and roll) I got a special something gonna make you groove (remote control rock and roll) And I wanna see you get down, wanna see you get down And I wanna see you get down, wanna see you get down Get down

Girl 03:50
Hair like a metaphor Eyes are a simile Just with your vision Quickly you cripple me Nuclear fission Seemingly simple compared to you Strongly attracted Though purely it’s physical What if I acted And then you’re an imbecile? Would it detract from The way that I’ve been perceiving you? You are so beautiful You are so beautiful Face is symmetric Smile is blinding With teeth parabolic Don’t need realigning What if there’s no Personality hiding behind that grin? Dimples apparent Indented and perfect But maybe cemented For showroom not service No humor to feed them Or laughter to nourish The wrinkles on your skin You are so beautiful You are so beautiful You are so beautiful You are so beautiful You are so beautiful That’s what this song’s about You are so beautiful You are so beautiful

You Stop 03:20
Relationships necessitate time You would say that’s a lazy line I can’t say that I’ll commit You could leave, and live a bit if You, stop, you stop, you stop You stop waiting for me The table’s clean, the meal is up But you keep filling up my cup I’m not disposed to wasting coffee But I could go, get up and leave if You, stop, you stop, you stop You stop waiting for me The water’s deep and I can’t swim, But don’t bother getting in Please please, don’t get your pants wet There’s no need for soggy footsteps if You, stop, you stop, you stop You stop wading for me

Pop Music 03:13
Everybody wonders why you're so serious, you're so serious Everybody wants to try to make a break but that's not the point 'cause Pop music is pop music is pop music is pop music

Nicole 04:32
You see our show in the dark of the basement And all alone, you wait with patience You are the one fan who keeps coming back You are the one fan who keeps coming back Nicole The work we do - it's all for your affection And when we move - it's all in your direction You are the one fan who keeps coming back You are the one fan who keeps coming back Nicole And after every show you ask our name And we always reply it's still the same When will she know (she'll never know) When will she know (she'll never know) You are the one fan who keeps coming back You keep coming back You see our show in the dark of the basement But you'll never know our names or our faces You are the one fan who keeps coming back You are the one fan who keeps coming back Nicole
