Lyrics

Firesign, indicate luminous pornography
Heliograph and Morse photography
Signal ad, signal ad, signal ad
Commerciality, commerciality, commerciality

Coherent, match and blazing cuneiform wide open
Sales pitch, high pitch, noise
Brakes too soft to burn, envisage this
Signal ad, signal ad, signal ad
Commerciality, commerciality, commerciality

Package, carton, package and carton, sell and package and carton
Sell and package and carton, sell and package and carton
Sell, package and sell, package
Just revitalize, revitalize, revitalize, what's this now?
Commerciality, commerciality, commerciality, commerciality

Sell and revitali-, vitalize and home pride
From tractors to tea-bags, from here to eternity, oh God, help me
Commerciality, commerciality, commerciality, commerciality, commerciality
Commerciality, commerciality, commerciality, commerciality, commerciality
Signal ad, signal ad, signal ad
Commerciality, commerciality, commerciality

[Thanks to Erich Sellheim and James Dignan]
