1. SHOT DOWN IN THE NIGHT

Numbers called as they`re waiting in a line
Camouflaged like a jungle snake
Acting tough, just enough
`til they start to break
Then they`re off with a rush of adrenalin
Holding on to a world unseen
the only sound is the pumping of the great machine

[chorus:]
The secret`s only for a few
Superpower looks down on you
Someone`s watching every move
You can break the lock and turn on the light ?
You know your danger feelings are right
Try to run or put up a fight
You`ll be shot down in the night
Shot down like an animal

See them run like rats from the factory
Push them out to the twilight zone
Let them feed on their needs
`til they`re overthrown
Take them up to a place in the gallery
Show them God with an angel face
Curtain call for the fall
Of the Human race

Play it straight and it seems like a mystery
Tell the truth and it sounds like lies
Looking down at the ground
With your angry eyes
Play the game and you`ll see there`s a difference
Join the ranks and you`ll get your kicks
See the world, and the girls, and the dirty tricks


2. MOTORWAY CITY

Turning star projections, voices from the deep
Throbbing of the engines, you exit from the heat
Paper on the pavement, cars crawling in the road
Emotions of the city, you ease your heavy load
Motorway City, well it ain`t the same
Lighting up the night sky, with an orange flame
Motorway City, you exit on the right
Cruising on the highway, driving through the night
Motorway City, well it ain`t the same
Lighting up the night sky, with an orange flame


3. SPIRIT OF THE AGE

I would`ve liked you to have been deep frozen too
And waiting still as fresh in your flesh for my return to earth
But your father refused to sign the forms to freeze you
Let`s see you`d be about 60 now, and long dead by the time I return to earth
My time held dreams were full of you as you were
when I left, still underage
Your android replica is playing up again
it`s no joke
When she comes she moans another`s name
But that`s the spirit of the age, that`s the
spirit of tha age
I am a clone, I am not alone
Every fibre of my flesh and bone is identical to
the others
Everything I say is in the same tone as my test
tube brother`s voice
And there`s no choice between us, if you had ever
seen us you`d rejoice in your uniqueness
And consider every weakness something special of your own
Being a clone I have no flaws to identify
Even this doggerel that pours from my pen
Has just been written by another twenty telepathic men
Word for word it says
`Oh, for the wings of any bird other than a battery hen`.


4. BRAINSTORM

Sanding on the runway waiting for takeoff, I wanna fly,
wanna watch me flake off,
I can`t move `cause the man has a rake off, you gotta help me,
help me to shake off,
This body of mine, I wanna get out of this void,
This body of mine, and I don`t wanna be destroyed,
this body of mine, I don`t wanna turn android,
This body of mine, you gotta help me avoid that,
Brainstorm, here I go, Brainstorm, flying low
Brainstorm, I wanna miss it, Brainstorm, you`d bet I`d kiss it,
this body goodbye.
I can`t get no peace until I get into motion,
Sign my release from this planet`s erosion,
Paranoia police have sussed out my potion,
You gotta help me or there`ll be an explosion
in this body of mine,
I wanna get out of this void,
this body of mine, and I don`t wanna be destroyed,
this body of mine, I don`t wanna turn android,
this body of mine, you gotta help me avoid that,
Brainstorm, here I go, Brainstorm, flying low
Brainstorm, I wanna miss it, Brainstorm, you`d bet I`d kiss it, this body goodbye


5. LIGHTHOUSE

Far Away in outer space
A Lighthouse guiding star
It`s there to help you, human race
and tell you where you are

So take a fix on Lighthouse
And home into its beam
And light the lasers in your heart
For all the world to see

Cosmic sound and laser light
Tools Lighthouse uses well
It signals out across galaxies
Where crystal people dwell

And take a fix on Lighthouse
And home into its beam
And light the lasers in your heart
For all the world to see


6. MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE

I am the creator of this universe
The wind of time is blowing through me
And it`s all moving relative to me,
It`s a figment of my mind
In a world that I designed
Charged with cosmic energy
Has the world gone mad or is it me
I am the centre of this universe
And all that it was meant to be
So that we might learn to see this foolishness
that lives in us
And stupidity that we must suss
How to banish from our minds
If you call this living I must be blind


7. SILVER MACHINE (REQUIEM)

I just took a ride
in a silver machine
and I`m still feeling mean
I got a silver machine

Do you want to ride
see yourself going by
other side of the sky
(Explosion)
