Rapture
Blondie vs. The Doors Lyrics

Toe to toe, dancing very close
People are dancing closely and intimately

Barely breathing, almost comatose
Dancing so hard that they are almost out of breath and in a trance-like state

Wall to wall, people hypnotized
The crowd is completely mesmerized by the music and the atmosphere

And they're stepping lightly
Dancing with light steps and graceful movements

Hang each night in rapture
They spend every night fully immersed in the euphoria of the dance

Back to back, sacroiliac
Dancing back to back with contact on the sacroiliac area of the body

Spineless movement and a wild attack
Dancing with fluidity and without inhibition

Face to face, sadly solitude
Dancing face to face but feeling lonely or isolated

And it's finger popping
They are snapping their fingers to the beat of the music

Twenty-four hour shopping in rapture
They are so entranced by the music that it feels like they are shopping (i.e. indulging) in it 24/7

Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's fly
Fab Five Freddie informed me that everyone is cool or fashionable

DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind
The DJs playing music are helping me escape or improve my state of mind

Flash is fast, flash is cool
Light or flashy things are quick and fashionable

Francois sais pas, flashe' no do
Francois doesn't know, flashy things don't work

And you don't stop, sure shot
You don't quit, it's a guaranteed success

Go out to the parking lot
Leave the building and go to the parking area

And you get in your car and drive real far
You enter your car and drive a long distance

And you drive all night and then you see a light
Driving all night until you come across a light

And it comes right down and lands on the ground
The light descends and lands on the floor

And out comes a man from Mars
An extraterrestrial man appears

And you try to run but he's got a gun
Attempting to flee but the alien has a weapon

And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
The alien kills you and devours your head

And then you're in the man from Mars
You become the alien and take on their persona

You go out at night eatin' cars
As the alien, you eat cars for sustenance

You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Specifically, you consume luxury vehicles like Cadillacs and Lincolns

Mercurys and Subarus
As well as other makes and models like Mercurys and Subarus

And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
You continue to feed on cars and don't stop

Then when there's no more cars
When there are no more cars to eat

You go out at night and eat up bars
You switch to consuming bars or nightclubs instead of cars

Where the people meet
Because that's where people gather

Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
Dancing while touching cheeks

One to one, man to man
Dancing one on one in a man to man interaction

Dance toe to toe, don't move too slow
Dancing step by step, but not too slowly

'Cause the man from Mars is through with cars
The alien is finished with eating cars

He's eatin' bars, yeah, wall to wall
Instead, the alien is now eating bars or nightclubs end to end

Door to door, hall to hall
Consuming everything in sight including doors and hallways

He's gonna eat 'em all
The alien will consume everything until there's nothing left

Rapture, be pure
The state of being entranced or euphoric, it should be uncontaminated or clean

Take a tour through the sewer
Venturing through unpleasant things or situations

Don't strain your brain, paint a train
Don't think too hard, just create something artistic

You'll be singin' in the rain
You'll be happy and singing in any situation

I said, "Don't stop, do punk rock"
Keep going and do punk rock music/style

Man to man, body muscular
Dancing physically close in a man to man interaction, with strong or toned bodies

Seismic decibel by the jugular
The music is so loud and intense that it feels like it's vibrating in the throat

Wall to wall, tea time technology
All-encompassing use of modern technology and conveniences

And a digital ladder, no sign of bad luck in rapture
Using technology to progress and climb higher, with no negative consequences in the state of euphoria

Well, now you see what you wanna be
You can visualize what kind of person you want to embody

Just have your party on TV
Broadcasting your party or lifestyle on TV

'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars
The alien has moved on from eating bars and nightclubs

Where the TV's on
Choosing to not consume places where televisions are present

Now he's gone back up to space
The alien has returned to their home in space

Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
The alien doesn't want to deal with humans or their problems

And you hip-hop and you don't stop
You continue to engage in hip hop culture and music

Just blast off, sure shot
You take off and succeed with incredible force

'Cause the man from Mars
Referring to the extraterrestrial entity

Stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
The alien is no longer consuming cars or nightclubs

And now he only eats guitars
The alien has moved to eating only guitars instead

Get up!
Encouragement to stand up or dance
