1. ZONES

(Instrumental.


2. DANGEROUS VISION

Night sky and city
Keeps us in
Life signs of pity weep within
Games of reality are hard to win
The child of the Third World looks so thin

Dangerous visions, taunt me
Ancient memories, haunt me
Future decisions, confuse me
The story so far just eludes me

The man on the pavement catches your eye
You look in amazement, he's decided to die
The crowd have engagements, they're just passing by
The child of the Third World, is wondering why


3. RUNNING THROUGH THE BACK BRAIN

Running through my backbrain in the morning
I think that what I'm getting is a warning
Messages are scrambled but they're urgent Something in the cortex 'bout detergent

I think it's coming clearer
I can see it in the mirror
Heading for a relapse
Clogging up the synapse
Or is it just Cassandra yawning?

Killers in the streets are wearing striped pants
They are interfering with my laryn
My brother and my sister joined the army
They promise that they do not mean to harm me

Messages messages
Persecution Persecution
Messages messages.....

Now it's growing dimmer
I can see the mirror shimmer
Sounds are getting stranger
Warning me of danger
Or can it be that I am merely tired?

There's a roaring in my ears that will not die
And signals in the sky I can't identify
My eyes are melting and my lips are moving
And the words that I am hearing are not soothing

Breathing's getting harder
There's nothing in the larder
The building's falling over
Or the Sun is going nova
Or is it my old-fashioned paranoia?

I think that it's important information
Giving me my future destination
Fragments of mysterious conversation
Lend the game a frightening complication

I know they're trying to tell me
What can they want to sell me?
The floor is undulating
My bones are soft and aching
Or have I temporarily lost my bearing?

Every little sound is charged with meaning
Percentage bandits riding out of Ealing
Stuttering, shouting, crying, and declaiming
Sentences are waxing, now they're waning
I'm nearly out of letters
From my elders and my betters
The Killer's moving faster
He tells me that he's my master
Or was he just asking me 'the time please?'


4. THE ISLAND

(Instrumental.


5. 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. UTOPIA

Utopia, Utopia, Utopia
Welcome to Utopia
Planet of your wildest dreams
Where everybody drives a Cadillac car
And the streets are paved with hamburgers
And the rivers run with Watney's draught Red Barrel

Utopia, where all your needs are catered for
Anticipated, calculated
All your wants are monitored,
Programmed, computer formulated
We know you will be very happy here
Nobody has complained

Yet......


7. SOCIAL ALLIANCE

A social alliance, are you in distress?
Just contact me and I'll do my best
She said 'I'm a person, so don't abuse me'
You know I am a doctor of the third degree

We're part of a structure
That needs no consent
You think you're the same
Now we're all different
Jeanie lives for fashion
And I live to fight
Before life was easy
Now we're creatures of the night

We're creatures of the night
We're creatures of the night
We're creatures of the night
Creatures of the night

Don't miss the sensation
It's never too late
If you think you're ready
There's no need to wait
Can your mind take it?
Do you really care?


8. SONIC ATTACK

n case of Sonic Attack on your district, follow these rules:

If you are making love it is imperative to bring all bodies to orgasm simultaneously.
Do not waste time blocking your ears.
Do not waste time seeking a 'sound proofed' shelter.
Try to get as far away from the sonic source as possible
Do not panic
Do not panic

Use your wheels. It is what they are for.
Small babies may be placed inside the special cocoons
and should be left, if possible, in shelters.
Do not attempt to use your own limbs.
If no wheels are available - metal - not organic -
limbs should be employed whenever practical.

Remember:
In the case of sonic attack survival means
'Every man for himself'
Statistically more people survive if they think
only of themselves
Do not attempt to rescue friends, relatives, loved ones
You have only a few seconds to escape
Use those seconds sensibly or you will inevitably die
Think only of yourself
Think only of yourself
Do not panic
Think only of yourself
Think only of yourself

These are the first signs of sonic attack:
You will notice small objects - such as ornaments - oscillating
You will notice vibrations in your diaphragm
You will hear a distand hissing in your ears
You will feel the need to vomit
You will feel dizzy
You will have difficulty focussing
You will need to breathe more rapidly
There will be bleeding from orifices
There will be an ache in the pelvic region
You may be subject to fits of hysterical shouting or even laughter

These are all sign of imminent sonic destruction
Your only protection is flight
If you are less than ten years old
Remain in your shelter and use your cocoon
Remember - you can help no one else
You can help no one else
You can help no one else
Do not panic
Think only of yourself
Think only of yourself
Think only of yourself

Think only of yourself

Think only of yourself

Think only of yourself


9. DREAM WORKER

'I have come.
but I do not choose now
to do what I came to do'

'Navigation Computer report:
Orbital status now maintained
Target zone vectors logged in
The Tube is now ready'

'Please swallow your Blue Dreamer,
and place the helmet on your head'.

Can you hear the lights approaching?
There's a sudden rush of sound
You laugh but no-one's joking
The Dreamer's turned you round
And now there's no distraction
You've slipped the noose of fate
Your dreams are now in colour
You've reached your future state
You've reached your future state
You've reached your future state......


10. BRAINSTORM

Standing on the runway waiting for take off
I wanna fly, wanna watch me flake off
I can't move 'cos the man has a rake off
You've gotta help me, help me to shake off

This body of mine
I gotta get out of this void
This body of mine
Cos I don't wanna be destroyed
This body of mine
And I don't wanna turn android
This body of mine
You've gotta help me avoid that
Brainstorm
Here I go
Brainstorm
Flying low
Brainstorm
I'm gonna miss it
Brainstorm
You bet I'll kiss it

Can't get no peace till 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
