She has to leave
She has to go
The fastest way
Is by trism
Steps off the curb
Stella Corona hopes for the best
To be home by sunset
Gotta be home by sunset

She asked me to give her a ride
She said she had to go
Dropped her off by the trism
Through the atmosphere by prism

Go trism
Go trism
Go trism
Go trism
Go trism

Gotta keep, gotta keep movin' on
Gotta keep movin'
Gotta keep movin'
Gotta keep movin'
Gotta-gotta-keep on

It was a human race to get away
And then back again
Like the sun bends light through a prism
She bends herself through the trism

In the smokey streets of the night
She pulls the lever and then bright light

Trism
Trism
Trism
Trism
Trism

Signed. I love the entire Whammy! album. Completely underrated.

I'm discovering their music!

It's so fun!

The best song on Whammy is definitely 'Legal Tender'. It's one of the biggest "should've been a hit singles" of the 1980's.

Pretty much all of their work from 1979-1989 is great. Not a fan of their 1992 disc Good Stuff, but you can't really go wrong with anything else they've done.

Another great, lesser-known B-52's song to check out is 'Ain't it a Shame', from 1986's Bouncing off the Satellites.

You actually inspired me to spin Whammy!. God, "Whammy Kiss" rocks my world!

Why hasn't any of their early albums reissued, remastered,& with bonus tracks released yet?

that song always rocked me too

Wanna be the captain of the Enterprise
Wanna be the king of the Zulus
Let's meet and have a baby now!

Wanna be the daughter of Dracula
Wanna be the son of Frankenstein
Let's meet and have a baby now!

oh, right. I guess that's 'Song For A Future Generation'. My bad.
