Lyrics

Field Work (Long Tokyo Mix)

[Chorus]

Better brush up on my field work

Gonna brush up on my field work

Gonna get my fingers dirty

Better brush up on my field work

[Verse 1]

One thing I need

Is to understand this jungle

Before I can untangle

The part of me that's fungoid

Was a hundred and three

When the world was still a baby

But instinct's an equation

You could program in an android

[Chorus]

Brush up on my field work (Field work)

Gonna brush up on my field work (Field work)

Gonna get my fingers dirty

Gonna brush up on my field work

[Verse 2]

Somewhere inside

There's a place where we can travel

A code we could unscramble

A riddlе to unravel

[Chorus]

Brush up on my field work (Field work)

Bеtter brush up on my field work (Field work)

Gonna get my fingers dirty

Gonna brush up on my field work

[Verse 3]

Somewhere inside me

Are the caves of Iwo Jima

And the sands of Arizona

Better brush up on my field work

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]

Somewhere inside me

Are the caves of Iwo Jima

And the sands of Arizona

Better brush up on my field work

[Chorus]

Better

Better brush up on my field work (Field work)

Better brush up on my field work (Field work)

Gonna get my fingers dirty

Gonna brush up on my field work (Field work)

[Verse 2]

Somewhere inside

There's a place where we can travel

There's a code I could unscramble

A riddle to unravel

[Refrain]

Somewhere inside

Gonna brush up on my field work

Gonna get my fingers dirty

Gonna brush up on my field work
