Something On

Your imagination's having puppies

it could be a video for new recruits

just stare into the camera

and pretend that you got the flu

or dream of impossible vacations

and get all teary from the wind

look as though you're standing at the station

long after the train came in

and see how the space tautens

like there's something on

and you're never more hot than

when you've got something on

Picture a century of water

bury the pipeline guy right here

kill the dream of impossible vacations

with the sweep of a mapping pioneer

outside there's hectic action

the ice is covering the trees

and one of em's interconnecting

with my chevrolet caprice

Black out to phantom power

and like there's nothing on

and hammering the tower

and now there's nothing on

we'll ride the monorail

rocking gently home on the trail

you wanna show me the moon

I know you're standing at the station

I know there's nothing on

I know that alienation

I know the train's long gone

I can see how your face tautens

like you've got something on

It makes me feel just rotten

but you've got something on
