First he took a speck of dirt
And made a man
Then he made a woman
From a grain of sand
They saw each other
And they got confused
Now they get together
But they feel used

Magnetic trumpets blowing
Synthetic saxophones
The evidence was growing
From below
Hidden motivations
Buried in the past
Still keeps them fighting over
Love, love, love

Signals start to travel
From a distant place
Capture-latches activate
They're face to face
Point and circle interlock
And begin exchange
Lights go out, electroshock
The pleasure pain

Magnetic trumpets blowing
Synthetic saxophones
The evidence was growing
From below
Hidden motivations
Buried in the past
Still keeps them fighting
Over love

The psychology of desire
Getting ready for the feast
The psychology of desire
It's the nature of the beast…

    This is essentially an alternate version of the song "Super Thing." It's about what one feels when falling in love with someone else. One source said that this song may have evolved into Super Thing, but I can't say whether or not that's true.
