1. STRANGE MACHINE

Here we are in a strange machine
Flying over concrete streets
Where do we go, what a crazy thing
To be in a strange machine

Here we are in a strange machine
Float alone by gasoline
So superb yet so obscene
To be in a strange machine

Ascending through the stratosphere
(Ascending through the stratosphere)
Riding on the way
(Riding on the way)
From terrestrial highways
(From terrestrial highways)
Into outer space

Far away from the afterglow
Ocean retreating far below
Where are we going afar from home
Out there in the wide unknown

Look for the Hunter with his arrows
Who sits in the stars beyond Scorpio
Is he waiting for me, how I wish to know
Start the countdown to zero

Ascending through the stratosphere
(Ascending through the stratosphere)
Riding on the way
(Riding on the way)
From terrestrial highways
(From terrestrial highways)
Into outer space

Bathing in the light of ten billion suns
Ultraviolet rays pierce through gravity and beyond

Here we are in a strange machine
Flying over concrete streets
Where do we go, what a crazy thing
To be in a strange machine

Ascending through the stratosphere
(Ascending through the stratosphere)
Riding on the way
(Riding on the way)
From terrestrial highways
(From terrestrial highways)
Into outer space


2. OVER THE HILLS

A young man of only seventeen was
Filled with promise and so many dreams he
Came to me and said "girl can you hide me
From the monsters that live inside me?"

They're coming out
No hiding now
Your led a horror home
You'll die

Come to me alone
Let the feeling go
Look it in the eyes
You will turn to stone

Over the hills and somewhere far away there's a
Better place for you to run and play but to
Get there you must face the things before you
Don't turn your head for they will not ignore you

You're bleeding bad
From the attack
For it's not confidence
You lack

Come to me alone
Let the feeling go
Look it in the eyes
You will turn to stone

Here on the hill
You stand here still
This is your fight
And yours to win

Come to me alone
(Come to me alone)
Let the feeling go
(Let the feeling go)
Look it in the eyes
(Look it in the eyes look in the eyes)
You will turn to stone


3. FADE INTO FANTASY

What does it matter, matter to me
Not the floor, the ceiling nor the space in between
What does it matter, matter to me

Here where I dwell the plaster shows cracks
A wall full of fractures, the splits form a map
Wind and lightning strike missing glass

Many many many many vibrations that are strongly calling me home
Never ever following me through the scatterings of time that I roam

Blink once, blink twice
Then fade into fantasy

What does it matter, matter to me
Take your precious stones, your gold jewelry
What does it matter, matter to me

Many many many many vibrations that are strongly calling me home
Never ever following me through the scatterings of time that I roam

Blink once, blink twice
Then fade into fantasy

I feel the sun grow cold on my skin
The night is drawing in
The night is drawing in

I walk through my garden alone
I walk through my garden alone
I walk through my garden alone


4. BROKEN STONE

I've rambled so many times
Through woodland and over fields
Just to find some peace of mind
Away from all the glare and the noise

Mother she feels far away
Slippin' further every day
Since when were meadows gray?
I just can't keep up this pace

Tell me there's hale shores beyond these
Seas, don't tell me it's vanishing, please
What a wicked old world
Underneath the autumn sky
Where a fox meets a dog
For some cigarettes and wine
Now the lark changed its song
To some melancholy chime
What are wicked old world
Underneath the autumn sky

Traveller you're looking weird
Vagabond you don't belong here
Fair land has disappeared
And all is covered in broken stones

Tell me there's hale shores beyond these
Seas, don't tell me it's vanishing, please
What a wicked old world
Underneath the autumn sky
Where a fox meets a dog
For some cigarettes and wine
Now the lark changed its song
To some melancholy chime
What are wicked old world
Underneath the autumn sky

Quiet in the stone
Quiet in the stone

Is it growing is it growing is it growing through the stone
Is it growing is it growing is it growing through the stone
Is it growing is it growing is it growing through the stone


5. PSYCHEDELIC EXPRESSWAY

So you turned out to be April's fool
Do you remember what you were taught in school?
The jester you did play breaking all the rules
You're making your momma cry, how could you be so cruel?

Just open your mind
Take a step inside
Oh it's so wide
What will you find?

A kaleidoscope of colours behind your eyes
The expressway opens up to a new surprise
Come with me lets ride till sunrise
Take off your cap and bells, discard your disguise

No more sleight of hand
From this black magic man
Count down from ten
Then let's begin

What is this inside?
Did you know you could feel new things at this point in life?
Sights and sounds pull you from hazy days
You're spiralling around in all kinds of ways

Now you've opened your mind
Take a step outside
Oh it's so wide
What did you find?


6. THE EARTH SPINS

Your eyes are so dead
When they are open
And our lives exist
So we start walking

The earth spins
That's just the way it is
No meaning for this
That's just the way it is

The sky is above me
The ground beneath my feet
And this the air that I breathe
No reason, no purpose, no meaning

The earth spins
That's just the way it is
No meaning for this
That's just the way it is

Who am I now
Who am I now
Who am I now
I'm dying to find out
Trying to find out
Who I am now
Who I am now

Tell me
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am

The earth spins
That's just the way it is
No meaning for this
That's just the way it is


7. SILVER

Hear a crack in the ice
Cold wind blows through the night
Winter's pall has arrived
Leaving no life behind

Silver is the river
It's raging water beneath the bitter ice
Silver is the river
It's raging water beneath the bitter ice

As the blue skies turns black
Water stops you in its tracks
Frozen temple dark abyss
Striking in its peacefulness

Silver is the river
It's raging water beneath the bitter ice
Silver is the river
It's raging water beneath the bitter ice

Silver is the river
It's raging water beneath the bitter ice
Silver is the river
It's raging water beneath the bitter ice


8. TEACHING CARNAL SINS

Enter the garden with a servant
No longer live innocent
Counting every single sin

Cynical, their closed minds know nothing
A no man's land they are wandering in
Whilst we are awakening

All the whispers in the corner say that he's evil
All the chatter in the room says that she's evil
All the voices in the hall say that they're evil
And all the rumours in the village say that we're evil

The fruit was bitter to the taste
A fever is flowing through our veins
Carnal sins are what we're teaching today

All the whispers in the corner say that he's evil
All the chatter in the room says that she's evil
All the voices in the hall say that they're evil
And all the rumours in the village say that we're evil

Outcast, they see us all as impure
Persona non grata we are
Our words light many to the core

All the whispers in the corner say that he's evil
All the chatter in the room says that she's evil
All the voices in the hall say that they're evil
And all the rumours in the village say that we're evil


9. DEAD WOMAN WALKING

You say I'm nothing but trouble in this town
You won't be happy till I'm buried six feet down

I'm no-one you'll see right through
Where I tread no flowers bloom

I'm a dead woman walking
Watch your house as it's burning
I'm the poison on your lips
A splinter in your fingertip

Catch me quickly you must strike while the iron's hot
Dance me to the gallows, dress me in a hangman's knot

I'm nobody you'll see right through
If the devil hurt you

I'm a dead woman walking
Watch your house as it's burning
I'm the poison on your lips
A splinter in your fingertip

I'm nobody you'll see right through
Where I tread no flowers bloom

I'm a dead woman walking
Watch your house as it's burning
I'm the poison on your lips
A splinter in your fingertip
