  • Climbing the down escalator
    To the frigid bardo (up, up, up, up, up, up)
    Rise (up, up, up, up, up, up)
    Kidnap yourself (up)
    Don't call the fuzz
    Just counting the bills
    You've got fives, tens, twenties, fifties
    Hundreds, hundreds, hundreds, hundreds

    Yeah, I need a new body, I need a new body
    I need a bit of shape and a tone
    Ooh, ooh
    Yeah, I need a new body, I need a new body
    I can't shake sleeping alone
    You see, I have been misplaced
    I have been mislaid
    Like a covetous dog that you can't just leave in your home
    Yeah, I need a new lover, I need a new body
    I can't stay out too long
    Like my hands have gone numb

    (Panasonic, Panasonic, Panasonic, Panasonic)
    Just give us what we want
    (Panasonic, Panasonic, Panasonic, Panasonic)

    I never deny it, no point in denying
    The ransom and the defense has drained us with their expense
    It's endless
    Yeah, I try not to hide it, I try not to buy it
    But you can't just sit on the fence
    It's true
    And now, I have been mispriced
    I have been mispriced
    Chipped and then deviced
    Tagged and rinsed for lice
    No, there's never a warning, I needed a warning
    I try to be content
    But I'm tight in the chest

    (Necco mini nilla wafers, necco mini nilla wafers)
    (Panasonic, Panasonic, Panasonic, Panasonic)
    So, give us what we want
    (Necco mini nilla wafers, necco mini nilla wafers)
    (Panasonic, Panasonic, Panasonic, Panasonic)
    (Necco mini nilla wafers, necco mini nilla wafers)
    (Super, super, super, super, super, super, super, super)
    Please give us what we want
    (Super, super, super, super, super, super, super, super)

    (Super, super, super, super, super, super, super, super)
    Over 200 miles of turnpike
    3000 miles of goods
    Would you like to add a protein?
    Would you like to ask me about my day rates?

    I need a new body, I need a new party
    To represent my needs
    (Ha-ha)
    Yeah, the distance is growing, but so is the longing
    Which leaves the inbetween
    And so, this is the end, or near to the end
    Let's say goodbye to a beautiful friend
    Staggered and blind on the rack, on the mend
    Let's close the eyes of a beautiful friend
    So, I need a new love and I need a new body
    To push away the end
    To the water we send you

    (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
    Dim that light in your eyes
    Coming out of your eyes
    People can see it
    When it pierces the veil
    The pink ones at night
    When it gets too much
    Otherwise, too much noise

    If you look up
    Block out the periphery
    The earth and trees surround you
    Framing your escape
    Into the sky
    Into the stars
    Leaving the ground
    You feel your feet let go
    The air a bit cooler now
    Thinner in the lungs
    Cleaner in the mouth
    And you know what they say
    "Don't look down"
    "Don't look down"

    But they also always say
    Selfish, by the bed
    "Don't go to the light"
    "Don't go to the light"
    "Don't go to the light"
    "Don't go to the light"
    Well, go into the light
    Go into the light
    Go into the light
    Go into the light Writer/s: James Murphy, Nancy Whang, Patrick Mahoney
