1. TEN SECONDS OF FOREVER

In the tenth second of forever,
I thought of the sea and a white yacht drifting...

In the ninth second of forever,
I thought of a leaf, a stone,
The plastic fragment of a child's toy...

In the eighth second of forever,
I remembered a warm room where voices played...

In the seventh second of forever,
I thought of the life I would not lead...

In the sixth second of forever,
I saw your mouth whispering something I could hear...

In the fifth second of forever,
I thought of the vermilion deserts of Mars,
The jewelled forests of Venus...

In the fourth second of forever,
I could remember nothing that I did not love...

In the third second of forever,
I thought of rain against a window, I thought of the wind...

In the second second of forever,
I thought of the pair of broken shades lying on the tarmac...

In the first and final second of forever,
I thought of the long past that had led to now,
and never... never... never... never...



2. BRAINSTORM

Standing on the runway waiting to take-off
I wanna fly, wanna watch me flake off
I can't move 'cause the man has the brake on
You gotta help me, help me to shake off

This body of mine – I've gotta get out of this void
Body of mine – coz I don't wanna be destroyed
Body of mine – and I don't wanna turn android
Body of mine – you gotta help me avoid that

Brainstorm – here I go
Brainstorm – flying low
Brainstorm – I'm gonna miss it
Brainstorm – you bet I'd kiss it

Can't get no peace 'til 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've gotta get out of this void
Body of mine – coz I don't wanna be destroyed
Body of mine – and I don't wanna turn android
Body of mine – you gotta help me avoid that

Brainstorm – here I go
Brainstorm – flying low
Brainstorm – I'm gonna miss it
Brainstorm – you bet I'd kiss it

I'm breaking up
I'm falling apart
I'm floating away




3. SEVEN BY SEVEN

Lost am I in this world of timelessness and woe
Can I find the doorway through which I must go?
Is the key to this plane too much for me to try to gain?
Is the passport to this world my astral soul?

Seven signs rode on seven stars
Seven ways to find the long lost bards
Seven days became seven years
While Pocus laughed and called foul jeers
Seven times he cursed the seven tears
Each one became their seven fears
What is lost is never gained again
I've cast the spell that eternity chained
No more to cry o mortal soul
The astral path is now your fortuitous role




4. MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE

I am the centre of this universe
The wind of time is blowing through me
And it's all moving relative to me,
It's all a figment of my mind
In a world that I've designed
I'm charged with cosmic energy
Has the world gone mad or is it me?

I am the creator 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.




5. WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

Welcome to the oceans in a labelled can
Welcome to the dehydrated lands
Welcome to the self-policed parade
Welcome to the neo-golden age
Welcome to the days you've made
You are welcome
You are welcome
Welcome welcome
You are welcome
You are welcome
