Hallucinating PlutoThe B-52's

See the fool who mimicks the sun
Burning out like a quasar--pulsing
Your lunar laugh and smokey dreams
Bare your soul and take control
While the spaced out space chick
Keeps the cosmic beat
And day-glo daffodils
Are pushing violent from the earth

Hallucinating Pluto yeah yeah...
Love will turn our universe
Hallucinating Pluto oh whoooo!
Love will turn our universe
I could exist here happily!

Fields of poppies blind for sunshine
Burning paths of fluid joy
Bare your soul and take control
If the wolves are howling outside your door
Invite them in and make them beg for more
While the day-glo daffodils
Are pushing violent from the earth

Dripping wet and screaming...
Now is the time
Now is the time-now is the time-now is the time
For action
Hit the road...overload
I'm in a dancing mode

Hallucinating Pluto yeah yeah...
Love will turn our universe
Hallucinating Pluto oh whoooo!

Get on your laser daddy and ride...
Through your telescope into the night

Pursue the lost realms of night...
The last realms of fear
Nighttime has stopped...bring on the aliens!

Our love is freed from the icy tundra
And everyone wants to take the next flight out!

Ride Daddy Ride
Hallucinating Pluto
Love will turn our universe!
Hallucinating Pluto
Love will turn our universe!
Hallucinating Pluto yeah yeah
Hallucinating Pluto oh whooo
Ride Daddy Ride
I could exist here, I could exist here happily!

The B-52's

The B-52’s, (now stylized as The B-52s) are an internationally successful New Wave band also known for their campy fashion. The group’s original line-up consisted of Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, Keith Strickland, Cindy Wilson and Ricky Wilson. Originally, all members of the band played multiple instruments. However, after Ricky Wilson’s tragic AIDS-related death in 1985, instead of hiring a full-time replacement, Strickland transitioned to primarily playing guitar, and the band has used various other musicians for recording and touring purposes.

Their self-titled first album The B-52’s was released to critical acclaim in 1979, spawning the Canadian chart-topping hit “Rock Lobster”, which was also successful in Australia, New Zealand, the US and the UK. Rolling Stone magazine later placed the album at #152 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

Their second album, Wild Planet, released in 1980, spawned another minor US hit with “Private Idaho”. Whammy! followed in 1983, giving the band a third minor US hit with “Legal Tender”. Their fourth album, Bouncing Off the Satellites, was recorded and mixed but not yet released when Ricky Wilson died in October 1985. It was nearly a year before the album was released, in September 1986. It is the band’s only album that does not feature a picture of its members on the cover.
