Take that hand crank transmitter

Turn it upside down

And ride it like a bike

You best reserve your strength

It might just show tonight

It could go cold and slow

They might show tonight



Wake that anemonitor

Ask it what it dreamt

And write the details down

You better stay awake

It might just come around

It could go cold and slow

And they might come around



You best reserve your strength

For the handshakes

You best reserve your strength

For the luncheons

You best reserve your strength

For the telethons

You best reserve your strength

For the world's fair

You best reserve your strength...



Smash that hand crank transmitter

And head for higher ground

And watch the red search lights

And please reserve your strength

It might just show tonight

It could go cold and slow

And they might show tonight

It could go cold and slow

It could go cold and slow

It could go cold and slow

It could go cold and slow

And they might show tonight
