Song Lyrics

"Am I In Sync"

by Steve Taylor
Album: Meltdown

(I don't know, Woody; are you sure you've got this thing hooked up right'
- Listen man, music is my life.
Alright, 2, 3, 4)

(What are you doing' What's going on'
- Sorry.)

Synthesizer rock ruled Jessica's feet, as a slave to that ubiquitous beat,
Visions of the big screen danced in her head,
"In a matter of time," she said,
Jessie never got her Hollywood roll, and the pogo nights have taken their toll,
She can do The Monkey off o' the cuff, but her mind has a missing link.

Am I in sync'
Paint a picture on a subway train,
Carve my name in a video game,
Am I in sync'
Out looking for the camera crews,
Sell my soul for a second on the evening news,
Am I in sync'
Live 'til the bubble pops,
Hold my breath when the big one drops,
Am I in sync'
Immortality is what I'm buying, but I'd rather be immortal by not dying.

Laboratory rats made Roger a fink, and the laws of science drove him to drink,
Working for the taste of public acclaim and a cure the bore his name,
Nobel Prizes would have been nice, but he lost his mind to renegade mice,
Roger traded dreams of "Man Of The Year" for an understanding shrink.

Am I in sync'
Paint a picture on a subway train,
Carve my name in a video game,
Am I in sync'
Out looking for the camera crews,
Sell my soul for a second on the evening news,
Am I in sync'
Live 'til the bubble pops,
Hold my breath when the big one drops,
Am I in sync'
Immortality is what I'm buying, but I'd rather be immortal by not dying.

(Alright, let's try it again,
Hey, what are you doing'
You told me you knew how to use this thing,
- Sorry)

Am I in sync'
Paint a picture on a subway train,
Carve my name in a video game,
Am I in sync'
Out looking for the camera crews,
Sell my soul for a second on the evening news,
Am I in sync'
Live 'til the bubble pops,
Hold my breath when the big one drops,
Am I in sync'
Immortality is what I'm buying, but I'd rather be immortal by not dying.

(Alright, get it right this time, 3, 4,
Yeah, now that wasn't so hard was it'
Wait, what's going on'
- Sorry, it's this machine, you can fix it in the mix
- Listen, I kinda like it
- Have you ever heard of polyrhythms'
I hear Bowie's gonna this on his next album)
