What is the name of this 80s song...?

I think it's an 80s song at least. It's sort of a new wave song, that sounds like it could have been done by OMD. I call it the 'space invaders' song. It's uptempo, is spoken-word for most of the lyrics, and has some robotic voice over in it. It doesn't really have a chorus, but instead of a chorus, it sounds like laser guns are fighting each other. Unfotunately, I can't remember any of the lyrics. But they play it sometimes on 80s night at this club, here in Portland.

Update:

I should clarify... I have done some extensive searching on this song. I don't think it's done by OMD. It almost sounds like Kraftwerk. But I have Yahoo! Music Engine, and have searched for this song under boy OMD and Kraftwerk, and similar artists, without much success.

    It might be " living on video" by Trans X

    It has laser sounds in the begining. and throughout the chorus parts. I know... I'm a DJ. Here are the lyrics to it:

    LIVING ON VIDEO

    Give me light

    give me action

    at the touch of a button.

    Flying through hyper-space

    in a computer interface.

    Stop - living on video

    stop - integrated circuits.

    Stop - sur un faisceau de lumieres

    stop - is this reality?

    Traveling in a light beam

    laser rays and purple skies.

    In a computer fairyland

    it is a dream you bring to life.

    Stop - living on video

    stop - integrated circuits....

    Living on video - sur un faisceau de lumieres

    I see your glitterring blue eyes

    you look at me with a smile.

    It's a computer fantasy

    it is waiting for you and me.

    Living - living on video

    living - living on video

    Living - living on video

    living - living on video - stop....

    Hi, just go to http://www.amazon.com/ and type in 'OMD' and there you can listen to some samples of the OMD songs.

    You can also try the official homepage of OMD - http://www.omd.uk.com/

    That's the only suggestion I could come up with.

    I think I know what song you're talking about. It's not an 80's song, it just sounds like that. I can't remember who did it, though. Sorry.
