Been out all night, I needed a bite Been out all night, I needed a bite Tenho saído toda a noite, I thought I'd put a record on I thought I'd put a record on eu precisava um pouco I reached for the one with the ultra-modern label I reached for the one with the ultra-modern label Pensei que ia colocar um disco pra tocar And wondered where the light had gone And wondered where the light had gone Cheguei àquele It had a futuristic cover It had a futuristic cover Com o rótulo ultra-moderno Lifted straight from Buck Rogers Lifted straight from Buck Rogers E me perguntei pra onde a luz tinha ido The record was so black it had to be a con The record was so black it had to be a con Tinha uma capa futurista The autochanger switched as I filled my sandwich The autochanger switched as I filled my sandwich Puxado direto de Buck Rogers And futuristic sounds warbled off and on And futuristic sounds warbled off and on O disco era tão negro, tinha que ser memorável Chorus : Chorus : O automático do toca-discos ligou The Black Hit Of Space The Black Hit Of Space Enquanto recheava um sanduíche It's the one without a face It's the one without a face E os sons futuristas gorjeavam indo e vindo It's the one that doesn't fit It's the one that doesn't fit Refrão: You can only see the flip You can only see the flip O sucesso negro do Espaço The Black Hit Of Space The Black Hit Of Space É aquele sem um rosto Sucking in the human race Sucking in the human race É aquele que não se ajusta How can it stay at the top How can it stay at the top Você pode ver só o lado When it's swallowed all the shops? When it's swallowed all the shops? O sucesso negro do Espaço As the song climbed the charts As the song climbed the charts Sugando na raça humana The others disappeared The others disappeared Como ele consegue permanecer no topo 'Til there was nothing but it left to buy 'Til there was nothing but it left to buy Quando está tragado em todas as lojas? It got to number one It got to number one Enquanto a música subia nos charts Then into minus figures Then into minus figures As outras despareciam Though nobody could understand why Though nobody could understand why Até quando não havia restado (Chorus) (Chorus) Mais nenhum para comprar I couldn't stand this bland sound any more so I couldn't stand this bland sound any more so Tinha que ser o número um I walked towards my deck to turn it off. I walked towards my deck to turn it off. Então em menores cifras All I could see was the B-side of the disc All I could see was the B-side of the disc Embora ninguém pudesse entender por que which had assumed a doughnut shape which had assumed a doughnut shape (refrão) with the label on the outside rim. with the label on the outside rim. Não podia mais aguentar esse som suave então I reached for the arm I reached for the arm Andei em direção à minha mesa para virá-la. which was less than one micron which was less than one micron Tudo que conseguia ver era o lado B do disco long but weighed more than long but weighed more than que tinha assumido uma forma de rosquinha Saturn and time stood still. Saturn and time stood still. com o rótulo na borda externa. I knew I had to escape I knew I had to escape Alcançei a poltrona. but every time I tried to flee, but every time I tried to flee, que era menor que um micron the record was in front of me. the record was in front of me. comprida mas mais pesada que The Black Hit Of Space The Black Hit Of Space Saturno e o tempo parou Get James Burke on the case Get James Burke on the case Sabia que tinha que escapar It's the hit that's never gone It's the hit that's never gone Mas toda vez que tentava fugir Time stops when you put it... Time stops when you put it... O disco estava lá na minha frente.
