Show Me How This Thing Works

Show me how this thing works (x2)

Last night

I saw it fall out of the heavens

It was gleaming chrome

With red lettering

It had a handle

Two meters, a knob for the volume

Show me how this thing works (x2)

When it make me rich, when it make me glad

When it make me love for all humanity

When it keep my poor and aching heart at bay (oh, oh, oh)

When it glow at night, when it make a hum

When it make the girls think that I'm less geeky

Show me how this thing works (x2)

We took it down to the physics laboratory

Police had the building mostly quartered off

A crowd was gathered, there were TV cameras

Show me how this thing works (x2)

When it make me rich, when it get me high

When it look good with the rest of my furniture

When it make a soft and pleasing tone at night (oh, oh, oh)

When it heal the sick, when it feed the poor

When it give me everything I ever dreamed of

Show me how this thing works (x2)

(solo)

Show me how this thing works (x2)

When it make me rich, when it make me wise

When it give my empty love a little bit of meaning

When it make the lions lay on down with the lambs (oh, oh, oh)

When it cure this rush, when it give us cash

When it do all this without a serious side effect

Show me how this thing works (x2)
