Rick Springfield - Venus In Overdrive Lyrics

Alone in a world of 6 billion
I was feeling my soul rust
Yeah I saw that everything was broken
everything was ashes, everything was dust

(I say this) I say this just to let you know
(I say this) I'd be crazy if I let you go
I'd be stoned I'd be stupefied
And I don't want to run and hide

Here's me thinking love can never survive (yeah yeah)
You showed up Venus in overdrive
Sex just got me buried alive (yeah yeah)
Turn on, Venus in overdrive

The thing about love is, it's not kismet
You don't choose it. It chooses you.
I write words about it, but I doubt it, if I even have a clue
(I say this) We all think it's a big freak show
(I say this) The fat end of the great rainbow
I get blind I get stupid and you know I get so convoluted

Here's me thinking love can never survive (yeah yeah)
You showed up Venus in overdrive
Sex just got me buried alive (yeah yeah)
Turn on, Venus in overdrive
Here's me thinking love can never survive (yeah yeah)
You showed up Venus in overdrive
Sex just got me buried alive (yeah yeah)
Turn on, Venus in overdrive

Here's me thinking love can never survive (yeah yeah)
You showed up Venus in overdrive
Sex just got me buried alive (yeah yeah)
Turn on, Venus in overdrive
Here's me thinking love can never survive (yeah yeah)
You showed up Venus in overdrive
Sex just gets me buried alive (yeah yeah)
Turn on, Venus in overdrive
Venus in overdrive

Such an underrated songwriter and performer.

Earth Angel, Rick is. Powerful music to the cord.

He puts on a damn good show. I got to see him in concert as he debuted this album.

This guy just won't stop - very cool

Have fun going in the shit hole

This album is so UNDER rated. <3 it!!!

Wow, great comeback!

Thanx Rick! Amazing song, and I can't stop listening to it! Or better, I don't want to stop listening to it... A bit short, but maybe that is part of the charm...
The kinda reverse (bassdrum) drumbeat along with the stunning riff on bass and guitar made me cry out loud how much I loved it, the first time I heard it!
Now I don't scream any more, but I love it even more every time i put on this lovely tune...
