1. THE PSYCHEDELIC WARLORDS (DISAPPEAR IN SMOKE)

We're sick of politicians
Harassment and Laws
All we do is get screwed up
By other peoples flaws
Worlds turned upside down now
Nothing else to do
Live in concrete jungles
House block seven view

And that ain't no joke
You could disappear in smoke
And that ain't no joke
You could disappear in smoke
And im tellin you that it ain't no joke

Think you know the answers
We dont tell no lies
We can take you anyway
Seven different highs
Worlds turned upside down now
Nothing else to do
Live in concrete jungles
House block seven view

And that ain't no joke
You could disappear in smoke
And that ain't no joke
You could disappear in smoke
And im tellin you that it ain't no joke

We're sick of politicians
Harassment and Laws
All we do is get screwed up
By other peoples flaws
Worlds turned upside down now
Nothing else to do
Live in concrete jungles
House block seven view

And that ain't no joke
You could disappear in smoke
And that ain't no joke
You could disappear in smoke
And im tellin you that it ain't no joke

It ain't no joke
[Repeated till end of song by synthesised voice]

[Instrumental]


3. D-RIDER

We're children playing in the sun
A sense of freedom on the run
We never knew what time it was
We just knew how sublime it was
Our course determined by our stars
My momma knows just where we are
The Earth was falling from below
A dragon showed which way to go
Spacing out, we're spacing in
Phasing out, we're phasing in
Burning up by burning out
Looking up and gazing
Our luck, it changes with the tide
Our constellations changing side
Macro mirror-image fades
Our over-conscience colour shades
We're astral-planing, floating free
On our continuum frequency
A ring was formed out of the stone
Metamorphose, tetraphone
Spacing out, we're spacing in
Phasing out, we're phasing in
Burning up by burning out
Looking up and gazing


4. WEB WEAVER

Larynx cries no longer heard
A chord was struck that chilled the nerve
It froze the time that we all lived
The roles reversed to downward spin
Is life finished or hung within
The voices pleading went unheard
And shattered membranes of our lives
Hung suspended from the hives
Where the harmony the sad voices waned


5. YOU'D BETTER BELIEVE IT

I wandered far in lands unknown until I came to my earthly home
Far away I found life's dream drifting on a silver beam,
You'd better believe it, It's so easy to say.
Travelling at twice the speed of light, Orion's stars are high tonight
The gentle madness has touched my hand, now
I'm just a cosmic man.


6. HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN GRILL

[Instrumental]


7. LOST JOHNNY

You only get a single chance
The rules are very plain
The truth is well concealed inside
The details of the game
You can see it coming
You can hear it from afar
It's pale and it flickers
Like a faded movie star
And up there in the castle
They're trying to make us scream
By sticking thumb tacks in her flesh
And cancelling the dream
Can you find the valium?
Can you bring it soon?
Lost Johnny's out there
Baying at the Moon
The time has come for you to choose
You'd better get it right
Berlin girls with sharp white teeth
Are waiting in the night
But you oughta really get some
It surely can't be hard
There's always trouble waiting
When you leave your own back yard
And underneath the city
The alligators sing
About how the puppets cannot dance
Since someone cut the strings
Run and get the morphine
For God's sake make it brief
Lost Johnny's out there
Looking for relief
Now Simon looks so evil
And you know he really tries
But every time he makes a play
That vital number dies
And Sally buys her underwear
From a store where no-one goes
She makes it big in photographs
On the strength of what she shows
And here inside the waiting room
The radio still screams
And we're all taking Tuenol
To murder our young dreams
Run and fetch your credit card
Try to make it quick
Lost Johnny's out there
Trying to turn a trick


8. GOAT WILLOW

[Instrumental]


9. PARADOX

The story that I'm telling you
Something that you can do
Ask yourself and try to find the answer
See the signs they're always there
But you know you never care
You're always looking for another reason
Try to reach it's not too far
See it as you really are
Ask yourself to try and find the answer
Always, always it's the same thing
Try it, try it, you just can't win
Circles, circles spinning round
People, people always bring you down and down
Round and round you go


10. YOU'D BETTER BELIEVE IT [Single Version Edit]

12. PARADOX [Remix Single Edit]


13. IT'S SO EASY

Try to understand it, though it's very hard to to see
The reason that we are living, no longer seems to be
Revolution's coming the chaos will soon end
We've reached the age of learning
You'll see it in the end.
It's so easy, it's so easy, it's so easy, it's so easy
To say what you say, do what you want
It happened today no matter what
They say this world's so mixed up everywhere you go
Everywhere you go, everywhere you go, everywhere you go
