[Intro]
Age of destruction
Age of oblivion
Age of destruction
Age of oblivion

[Verse 1]
Discovered love in the rancid days of ruin
My body's sweatin' toxins of my own demise
Only from space, can you see how much earth is burning
Smokin' out the innocence inside the child

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the age of destruction
In a world of corruption
It's the age of destruction
And they hand us oblivion

[Chorus]
Neuromancer and I'm trancing
I'm the Neuromancer and I'm trancing

[Verse 2]
Man who wallows in his insatiable greed
More in the answer that sweats from desperate palms
Turn on the lies, the secrets of our desolation
Or be smothered by the red hot core

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the age of destruction
In a world of corruption
It's the age of destruction
And they hand us oblivion

[Chorus]
The neuromancer and I'm trancing
I'm the neuromancer and I'm trancing
I'm the neuromancer and I'm trancing
Trancing
Trancing
And I'm trancing

[Bridge]
Denied love in the age of ruin
Suicide toxins of my own demise
In cyberspace, you know how much the earth ain't learning
Smoking out the man inside the child, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the age of destruction
In a world of corruption
It's the age of destruction
And they hand us oblivion

[Chorus]
The neuromancer and I'm trancing
I'm the neuromancer trancing
Neuromancer trancing
Neuromancer trancing
Neuromancer trancing
Neuromancer

[Outro]
Age of destruction
Age of the neuromancer
Age of destruction
Age of oblivion
Age of destruction
Age of the neuromancer

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
