Shock Treatment Lyrics by Richard O’Brien

Shock Treatment (The Original Soundtrack)

0

[Verse 1: Cosmo]
I'm not a locum with motive to suture myself
I've been a cynic for too many years
Playing doctor and nurse, it can be good for your health
I've seen clinics with those gimmicks in Tangiers
[Verse 2: Nation]
But if you open your heart to a smooth operator
He'll take you for all that you've got
He'll hand you a curse that'll be with you later
It'll shake you the way he takes off, like a shot
[Chorus: Cosmo, (All)]
You need a bit of (Ooh, shock treatment)
Gets you jumping like a real live wire
Need a bit of (Ooh, shock treatment)
So look out, mister
Don't you blow your last resistor
For a vista that'll mystify ya
[Verse 3: Ansalong]
You're blinded by romance, you're blinded by science
Your condition is critically grave
But don't expect mercy from such an alliance
Suspicion of tradition's so new wave
[Chorus: Cosmo, (All)]
You need a bit of (Ooh, shock treatment)
Gets you jumping like a real live wire
Need a bit of (Ooh, shock treatment)
So look out, mister
Don't you blow your last resistor
For a sister that'll certify ya, fy ya, fy ya
[Chorus: Cosmo, (All)]
You need a bit of (Ooh, shock treatment)
Gets you jumping like a real live wire
Need a bit of (Ooh, shock treatment)
So look out, mister
Don't you blow your last resistor
For a sister that'll certify ya, fy ya, fy ya, fy ya
