Lyrics:

Sittin' on a mountain looking at the sun
Plastic fantastic lobster telephone

Drive on baby thru the electric nite
All the way sister in the taxi of life

Cookin' in the kitchen insects on the bone

Hazy lazy dream world drippin' on
Waitin' for a time bomb tik tik tik away
Somethin' on the radio drip drip drip all day

Drive on baby thru the electric nite
All the way sister in the taxi of light
The sunshine glows but nobody knows
The night-time's gone keep drivin' on

Aphrodisiac jacket Napoleon machine-gun
Livin' on a subway from dusk till dawn

Sittin' on a mountain looking at the sun
Plastic fantastic lobster telephone

Drive on baby thru the electric night
All the way sister in the taxi of light
The sunshine glows but nobody knows
The night-time's gone keep drivin' on
