The Ballad of Pertinent Information (Turn It On)

Clear in my head

What was it the rooster said?

If you ain't up before dawn

Then I've got a message for ya

Mirroring new trends

Living at loose ends

Making the best out of

The worldwide emporia

Strawberry blondes

In strawberry fields

Debt conceals and debt reveals

I have led the league in steals

Turn it on

I'd like to express my passions

Turn it on

Let's dance until something awful happens

Turn it on

Turn it on, see if it works

Turn it on

That is the job and these are the perks

Brokering experts

Singapore slums

If you want a smooth path

I got something for ya

The semi-pop life

Of an overnight fraud

So many ways to touch the face of God

Burned in the fire

Hung in a cell

There are oh so many dudes

Who think they get me so well

Turn it on

I've got some things you'll want to see

Turn it on

I have monitored ecstasy

Turn it on

I have tampered with the occasional witness

Turn it on

I'm not in the black shirt business

Turn it on

I want access to everything

Turn it on

From the dawn of man to the final gathering

Turn it on

I like the fact that you're so hot

Turn it on

I like the way you hold a skull

Turn it on

I'm sure I'm either crab or weird

Turn it on

Some kind of folks would give you a kidney

Turn it on

My mind wanders and my ears ring

Turn it on

I would give you everything

Clear in my head

What was it the rooster said?

If you ain't up before dawn

Then I've got nothing for ya
