Ultravox - King's lead hat

Oh - it's automatic (narcotic) let's ride Four turkeys in a big black car The road is shiny (black shine) the wheels slide It all goes for a dangerous ride The lacquer crackles (black car) the engine roars A ship is turning, they come back to the shore Splish splash I was raking in the cash The biology of purpose keeps my nose above the surface King's lead hat was a mother to desire It will come, it will come, it will surely come King's lead hat put the innocence inside her It will come, it will come, it will surely come In New Delhi and Hong Kong We all know that it won't be long I count my fingers (here she comes) as night falls And draw bananas on the bathroon walls The killer cycles (hum drum) the killer hertz The passage of my life is measured out in shirts Time and motion (motion carried) time and tide All I know and all I have is time and time and tide is on my side King's lead hat was a poker in the fire It will come, it will come, it will surely come King's lead hat was a mother to desire It will come, it will come, it will surely come The weapon's ready, the gun's on The satellite can toss and turn The captain's here (sieg heil) but nobody hears The king's hat fits over their ears He dials zero (cold line) on every time He tries to dial out 999999999He dials reception, he's all alone He's just a victim of the telephone King's lead hat made the Amazon much wider It will come, it will come, it will surely come King's lead hat was a mother to desire It will come, it will come, it will surely come King's lead hat put the innocence inside her It will come, it will come, it will surely come King's lead hat was the poker in the fire It will come, it will come, it will surely come Oh yeah!
