Written by Benjamin Russell in the late 80s, TOUCH ME INSIDE lay dormant until now, waiting for the magic touch of producer extraordinaire, Rob Stuart.

With nods to sci-fi classics like Bladerunner, Star Wars and Star Trek, TOUCH ME INSIDE asks, "Are you ready for the singularity?"

LYRICS by Benjamin Russell

Touch me!

The shadows flicker by the light of television
There's someone on the news who says we're heading for collision
I change the channel with the touch of a button
Hey, that's all they gotta do to blow us all to nothing

Back at the station they try another shot
Now that's a better angle, you can see what they got
You can get most anything if the price is right
But how can we enjoy it if we're so uptight

Baby! Give it to me straight
Shake me, wake me baby, before it's too late
Save me! I'm starting to slide
Open up this heart of mine and touch me inside

A lonely child of the video generation
Living in the future, got no anticipation
A million people living in my block
And we all think we're something but it's just a lot of talk

Baby! I'm counting on you
Shake me, wake me baby, tell me it isn't true
Save me! I'm starting to slide
Open up this heart of mine and touch me inside

I feel like a replicant in Bladerunner, a droid in Star Wars, Mr. Spock

The shadows flicker by the light of television
There's someone on the news who says we're heading for collision
I change the channel with the touch of a button
Hey, that's all they gotta do to blow us all to nothing

Baby! Give it to me straight
Shake me, wake me baby, before it's too late
Save me! I'm starting to slide
Open up this heart of mine and touch me inside

Baby! I'm counting on you
Shake me, wake me baby, tell me it isn't true
Save me! I'm starting to slide
Open up this heart of mine and touch me inside
