Red-Eye Express
Devo · Duty Now For The Future [1979]
Let me shovel some dirt
Long time, no sugar
And it's starting to hurt
Something's flattened my cola
Something's wrong with my brew
Something's rotten in Idaho
And I don't know what to do
Gone, gone, gone
With the red eye distress
Gone, gone, gone
On the Red Eye Express
Gone, gone, gone
With the red eye distress
Gone, gone, gone
On the Red Eye Express
Gone, gone, gone
With the red eye distress
Gone, gone, gone
On the Red Eye Express
Gone, gone, gone
With the red eye distress
Gone, gone, gone
On the Red Eye Express
Only go around once
Gotta quench that thirst
Gotta grab that gusto
Gotta get there first
Something's flattened my cola
Something's wrong with my brew
Something's rotten in Idaho
And I don't know what to do
Gone, gone, gone
With the red eye distress
Gone, gone, gone
On the Red Eye Express
Gone, gone, gone
With the red eye distress
Gone, gone, gone
On the Red Eye Express
Gone, gone, gone
With the red eye distress
Gone, gone, gone
On the Red Eye Express
Gone, gone, gone
With the red eye distress
Gone, gone, gone
On the Red Eye Express
Gone, gone, gone
With the red eye distress
Gone, gone, gone
On the Red Eye Express
Gone, gone, gone
With the red eye distress
Gone, gone, gone
On the Red Eye Express
Gone, gone, gone
With the red eye distress
Gone, gone, gone
On the Red Eye Express
Gone, gone, gone
With the red eye distress
Gone, gone, gone
On the Red Eye Express
Red Eye Express
Red Eye Express

Red-Eye Express
Devo's 1979 track "Red-Eye Express" stands as a quintessential example of the band's early synth-pop fusion, blending electronic innovation with their signature satirical edge. Released on the album *Duty Now For The Future*, the song exemplifies the group's ability to merge futuristic soundscapes with biting social commentary. The recording features the distinctive rhythmic drive and vocal stylings that would define Devo's evolution from new wave into a more polished electronic act. As a key component of their discography during this transformative period, the track showcases the band's commitment to creating music that was both sonically novel and culturally provocative, influencing countless artists who followed in the post-punk and new wave eras.
