Rapture
Blondie;Debbie Harry Lyrics

Toe to toe
People are closely dancing together.

Dancing very close
The dancing is intimate and personal.

Barely breathing
The dancing is so close and personal that people are running out of breath.

Almost comatose
People are in a trance-like state while dancing.

Wall to wall
The room is packed with people.

People hypnotized
The people are entranced and captivated by the music and atmosphere.

And they're stepping lightly
Despite the crowd, people are still dancing with grace and ease.

Hang each night in Rapture
This is a common occurrence and people come here to dance every night.

Back to back
People are dancing with their backs touching each other.

Sacroiliac
A type of dance move that involves moving the hips.

Spineless movement
Dancers move effortlessly and fluidly.

And a wild attack
The dancing is passionate and intense.

Face to face
People are dancing in pairs facing each other.

Sadly solitude
Even though they are with someone else, they are still lonely.

And it's finger popping
The rhythm and beat of the music is infectious and people can't help but snap their fingers.

Twenty-four hour shopping in Rapture
Rapture is a place where people can escape their daily lives and come dance all night long.

Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high
Freddie has told the singer that everyone is on drugs.

DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind
The music is powerful enough to help the singer escape reality.

Flash is fast, Flash is cool
The lighting in the club is exciting and contemporary.

Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do
The singer hears Francois's accent and thinks he's saying 'flash' but he's actually saying something else.

And you don't stop, sure shot
The party never stops, it's always a good time.

Go out to the parking lot
People go outside to get some fresh air.

And you get in your car and you drive real far
The singer is describing the feeling of driving after being in the club all night.

And you drive all night and then you see a light
The singer is describing the feeling of being extremely tired and seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

And it comes right down and lands on the ground
The image is of a spaceship coming down to earth.

And out comes a man from Mars
The man is an extraterrestrial.

And you try to run but he's got a gun
The man from Mars is threatening the singer with a gun.

And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
The man from Mars kills the singer and eats their brain.

And then you're in the man from Mars
The singer's consciousness is now inside the Martian.

You go out at night, eatin' cars
The Martian now goes out at night and eats cars.

You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
The Martian is not picky about what type of car they eat.

Mercury's and Subaru's
The Martian is eating all kinds of cars.

And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
The Martian keeps going, always eating cars.

Then, when there's no more cars
When all the cars are gone, the Martian finds a new food source.

You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
The Martian now eats bars where people congregate.

Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
People continue to dance, now with the Martian amongst them.

One to one, man to man
The Martian is amongst the people, dancing and interacting with them.

Dance toe too toe
The Martian is dancing extremely close to people.

Don't move to slow, 'cause the man from Mars
The Martian is still there and people need to be cautious.

Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars
The Martian is done with eating cars and is now eating bars.

Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
The Martian is eating everything in sight.

He's gonna eat 'em all
The Martian is going to devour everything.

Rapture, be pure
Despite the chaos, there is still an element of purity and freedom in the club.

Take a tour, through the sewer
There are still dark and ugly elements in the world even though there is also beauty.

Don't strain your brain, paint a train
Don't overthink things, just create something.

You'll be singin' in the rain
If you create something, you will feel happy.

I said don't stop, to punk rock
Keep creating and pushing forward, don't conform to the norm.

Well now you see what you wanna be
You can be whoever you want to be.

Just have your party on TV
You can create an imaginary world for yourself through television.

'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on
If you make art instead of being at the bar, the Martian won't bother you.

And now he's gone back up to space
The Martian has left us and gone back to his home planet.

Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
The Martian doesn't want to deal with humans anymore.

And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
Keep living your life and creating.

Just blast off, sure shot
Make sure you take big risks when creating.

'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
The Martian is done with eating and causing chaos.

And now he only eats guitars, get up!
The Martian is still hungry, but now he eats guitars instead.
