Metal beat Metal beat Metal beat Metal beat Jim Suit Black hair Dim skin Gold teeth A trickle voice like a silver sheet The pulling of the lights Reflecting in my eyes Pick up a flip-top box from the vinyl seat Metal beat Metal beat Metal beat Metal beat

Drift in Drift out We're gone I'm here Click on Click off No-no Don't get too near Name on the shatterproof glass Melt into a mass Let's slide across me in this heat Metal beat Metal beat Metal beat Metal beat
