I got a new car, (metal in motion,)
I can drive anywhere, (if I get the notion)
Watch the needles, (rise and fall)
System status. (they tell me all)

They're my gauges; I'm well equipped,
I've got my gauges - watch what they say,
Gauges, they tell me all about the changes in my world.

I got a fever, (it's an indication)
That I might need, (some medication)
My body tells me, (it's got irritation)
It's a physical. (communication)

I got gauges; I'm well equipped,
I got my gauges - watch what they say,
Gauges, they tell me all about the changes in my world.

You better listen, you'd better take care,
Warnings are written everywhere,
Look for a sign throughout the ages,
Open your eyes and read the gauges.

I watch the news (on the video gauge)
I wasn't raised, (in the radio age)
Images move, (they glitter and shine)
But I see the darkness. (between the lines)

I got gauges; I'm well equipped,
I've got my gauges - watch what they say,
Gauges, they tell me all about the changes in my world,
Gauges; I'm well equipped,
I've got my gauges, watch what they say,
Gauges, they tell me all about the changes in my world.
