I wake up every day to see her back again Screaming my name through the astral plane And in this catalog town she takes me down Down through the platinum spires Down through the telephone wires And we shake it around in the underground And like a new generation rise And like all the boys in all the cities I take the poison take the pity But she and I we soon discovered We'd take the pills to find each other Oh but when she is calling here in my head Can you hear her calling And what she has said? Oh but when she is calling here in my head It's like a new generation calling Can you hear it call? And I'm losing myself, losing myself to you I wake up every day, to find her back again Breeding disease on her hands and knees While the styles turn and the books still burn Yes it's there in the platinum spires It's there in the telephone wires And we spread it around to a techno sound But like a new generation rise 'Cause like all the boys in all the cities I take the poison, take the pity But she and I we soon discover We take the pills to find each other Oh but when she is calling here in my head Can you hear her calling? And what she has said? Oh but when she is calling here in my head It's like a new generation calling Can you hear her call? And I'm losing myself, losing myself to you
