Turn the World Off (And Turn You On)

Lyrics

[ROB, spoken] Ladies and gentlemen, against my better judgment I give you Sonic Death Monkey [Sound effects montage.] [BARRY, spoken] A tone poem Where's the "off" switch, mother? "Off," as in the absence of "on" "Off," as in the absence of sound Absence of light, absence of pain Nay, absence of you Someone's gone off with the off And until death There is no off Shall ye go then to the wolves of night, my love And give them thine tender flesh? Louder, faster, funnier, deadlier—more, more Choices upon choices Like bodies upon bodies Litter the landscape of our lives Baying insanities, inanities Their steely jaws blistering howls of profanities And I just want to—I just want to Turn the world off! [BARRY & BACKUP SINGER] And turn you on, baby I just wanna turn the world off And turn you on Yeah, yeah, yeah [BARRY] Unplug the phone and all that we own Come lie here next to me Oh yeah Try a different brand of happiness Than they're sellin' on TV Uh-huh You won't even need the clothes that you're in For the vacation we're about to begin Oh, honey let's go travelin' And visit every inch of your skin 'Cause baby, baby, baby [BARRY, BARRY & BACKUP SINGER, BACKUP SINGER] Oh, I just wanna turn the world off And turn you on (I wanna turn you on, turn you on) And give you all the love you're worthy of In a lovin' marathon (Lovin' marathon) So let's stay home, sugar And let our friends talk about us And just for one night Let the world turn without us Let's turn the world off, baby I wanna turn you on [LAURA] I made a list of all your faults It was quite detailed and lengthy too And when I read it through I missed you You're like a classic Eagles song You just can't help but sing along Even though it sometimes gets annoying too I just know I wanna be Wherever I can wake and see You there next to me [ROB] Oh, Laura, Laura [LAURA] That is if you're free [ROB] I'm pretty sure I'm free [LAURA] I wanna come home [ROB] Oh Laura, come home [ROB & LAURA] Be with me [BARRY, ENSEMBLE, BARRY & BACKUP SINGER] Oh, baby, baby, baby Oh, I just wanna turn the world off Turn it off, turn it off Oh, and turn you on (Turn you on) I'm gonna turn you on, turn you on I'm gonna take control and rock your soul (Rock your soul) And send you smiling towards the dawn Smilin' towards the dawn 'Cause there's nothing I could buy And no high could measure (No high could measure) With hearing you sigh And shudder with pleasure (Shudder with pleasure) I just wanna turn the world off Turn the world off [LIZ] I just wanna turn the world off [ENSEMBLE] Turn the world off [BARRY & BACKUP SINGER] I just wanna turn the world off [ENSEMBLE] Turn the world off [BARRY] And turn you Sweet, sweet, lady I wanna turn you [BARRY & COMPANY] On!
