going out with disco going out like bacchanal
i'll be ging out with telephone...
going out alone...to the radar zone...

using up my listerine like ovaltine
and you'll be, you're dippin' in your battleship
for the latest tip...for the latest dream...

It's all just inadvertent, imitation
and i don't mean mine
it's all across this nation
if it's just inadvertent, simulation
a pattern in all mankind
what's got the whole world fakin' it?

If it's just inadvertent, imitation
