Lyrics


1. 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.



2. BORN TO GO

We were born to go,
We're never turning back
We were born to go,
and leave a burning track
We were born to go,
and leave no star unturned
We were born to grow,
We were born to learn

We're breaking out of the shell,
We're breaking free
We're hatching our dreams into reality

We were born to blaze,
a new clear way through space
A way out of the maze,
that held the human race
We were born to go,
as far as we can fly
We were born to go,
to blow the human mind

We're breaking out of the shell,
We're breaking free
We're hatching our dreams into reality



3. SILVER MACHINE

I
I just took a ride
In a silver machine
And I'm still feeling mean.
Do you wanna ride see yourself going by.
The other side of the sky

I got a silver machine.
It flies side ways thru' time

It's an electricline

It's your Zodiac sign.
I've got a silver machine

I've got a silver machine.

I said
I just took a ride in a silver machine
And I'm still feeling mean.
It flies
Out of a dream
It's antisceptically clean

It turns everything green.
Do you wanna ride see yourself going by.
The other side of the sky

I mean a silver machine.

I've got a silver machine

I've got a silver machine.




4. 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



5. ASSASSINS OF ALLAH

Hashish-hashin Hashish-hashin
Hashish-hashin Hashish-hashin
Hashish-hashin Hashish-hashin
Hashishin

Black-September Black-September
Black-September Black-September
Black-September Black-September
Black-September

Death unto all infidels, in oil
Guide us o thou genie of the smoke
Lead us to a thousand and one nights
In the perfumed gardens of delight

Petro-dollar Petro-dollar
Petrol-D'allah Petrol-D'allah
Petro-dollar Petro-dollar
Petro-dollar

It is written in the soul of the desert
It is written in the signs in the stars
It is written in the sands of the hour-glass
It is written

It is written in the eye of the falcon
It is written in the shade of the scorpion
It is written in the wealth of the sun
It is written

It is written that man's truth is a mirage
It is written that death is an oasis
It is written for all unbelievers
It is written



6. MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE (ALTERNATE VERSION)

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.



7. SILVER MACHINE (LIVE)

I
I just took a ride
In a silver machine
And I'm still feeling mean.
Do you wanna ride see yourself going by.
The other side of the sky

I got a silver machine.
It flies side ways thru' time

It's an electricline

It's your Zodiac sign.
I've got a silver machine

I've got a silver machine.

I said
I just took a ride in a silver machine
And I'm still feeling mean.
It flies
Out of a dream
It's antisceptically clean

It turns everything green.
Do you wanna ride see yourself going by.
The other side of the sky

I mean a silver machine.

I've got a silver machine

I've got a silver machine.
