Lyrics

1. LEVITATION

In the darkness I will shine
Cast not shadows or define
Walk on water float on air
There is no other to compare

[Chorus:]
I have this fascination
No cause for a deviation
It's called levitation

There is no cause to start and scream
Nor rub your eyes this is no dream
Although I sit upon this chair
I rise and float up in the air

[Chorus]

Magnetic force repel attract
Once it starts there's no turning back
I offer you this chance to learn
Take it now there's no return

[Chorus]


2. MOTORWAY CITY

Turning star projections
Voices from the deep
The 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 thru the night
Motorway City, well it ain't the same
Lighting up the night sky with an orange flame

6. WHO'S GONNA WIN THE WAR

Lonely figures waiting, Shadows on a hill,
Looking into valleys where everything is still.

Only death is lurking, The creeping sickness waits
So who's gonna win the war, Who's gonna win the war.

Radiation-Wasteland in the setting-sun
Dust clouds they are rising to obliterate the guns.

Already weeds are writing their scriptures in the sand,
So who's gonna win the war, Who's gonna win the war.


7. SPACE CHASE

[Instrumental]


8. THE FIFTH SECOND OF FOREVER (CIRCLES)

There's a circle on a paper
High a planet in the sky
From the dust which will not settle
Hours is the time you lie.

Track your finger in the cluster
You've found the cause which is called must
Remember always you are nothing
Though others say that you must suss.
(You must trust the new messiah)

Of time which is the passing quasar
A venture short within ourselves
Through the veil of sleek emotion
The mists of dark cannot be felt.


9. DUST OF TIME

Waiting in the valley of all creation
Calling out a song for the state of the nation
I am son born of father never related
Frozen in a bank of ice essence liberated
Looking from the future into the past
Footprints of awareness approaching so fast
Queues of sterile mothers waiting for inspection
Populace diminished everywhere there is rejection
Dust of time caught in your eye
A fleeting glimpse gone in a sigh


10. NUCLEAR TOY

Nuclear facts are hard to take,
Harrisburg, Windscale, It's no use to fake.
Potassium-Iodide, Radiation-Drug,
Won't save yourself from being a mug.

It's a nuclear toy, It's a nuclear toy.

A generation pumping out active-gas,
Polluting the atmosphere and killing en-masse.
Strontium-90, Cancer in the blood,
Who's gonna pay for the radiation flood.

It's a nuclear toy, It's a nuclear toy.

M4-Missile cruising in the sky,
Setting off a catastrophe in the flicker of an eye.
Radiation-Fallout, It's a setting-sun,
Looking down the barrel and firing the gun.

It's a nuclear toy, It's a nuclear toy.

Nuclear death is sweeping the Earth,
Babies being born deformed from birth.
Mutations are working in the factories,
The landscape's full of artificial trees.
