Lyrics

Well I've been on tenterhooks, ending in dirty looks
Listen to the muzak taking care of this and that
She said "That's that! I don't wanna chitty-chat"
Turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat

Pump it up until you can feel it
Pump it up when you don't really need it

We're down in the pleasure centre hell bent or heaven sent
Listen to the propaganda
Listen to the latest slander
There's nothing underhand that she wouldn't understand

Pump it up until you can feel it
Pump it up when you don't really need it
Pump it up until you can feel it
Pump it up when you don't really need it

Pump it up

She's been a bad girl, she's like a chemical
Don't you try stop her, she's like a narcotic
You wanna talk to her, you wanna torture her
All the things you've done for her couldn't get her temperature

Pump it up until you can feel it
Pump it up when you don't really need it
Pump it up until you can feel it
Pump it up when you don't really need it

Pump it up, pump it up
(Until you can feel it)
Pump it up, pump it up
Pump it up, pump it up
(When you don’t really need it)
Pump it up, pump it up
Pump it up, pump it up
Pump it up, pump it up
Pump it up, pump it up
Pump it up, pump it up
Pump it up
