Lyrics


SIDE A

1. TOTAL ECLIPSE

Cold as steel the darkness waits, its hour will come
A cry of fear for the chosen worshipping the sun
Mother natures black revenge on those who waste her life
War babies in the garden of Eden shall turn our ashes to ice

Sunrise is gone, freezing up the fires
Sunrise is gone, numbing all desires
Sunrise is gone
Sunrise is gone

Around the world the people stop with terror-stricken eyes
A shadow cast upon them all to crush them like a fly
In the icy rain and whiplashed seas there's nowhere left to run
The hammer blows of winter fall like a hurricane

Sunrise is gone, freezing up the fires
Sunrise is gone, numbing all desires

Around the world the nations wait for some wise words from their leading light
You know it's not only madmen who listen to fools
"Is this the end ?" the millions cried clutching their riches as they died
Those who survive must weather the storm

Gone are the days when man looked down
They've taken away his sacred crown
To be so free, it took so long
It's not the journey's end, it's just begun


2. I'M A MOVER

I was born by the river, just like this river
I've been moving ever since
Ain't got nobody to call my own
You know I've been moving since the day I was born
Life is a game just made for fun
You know I don't love nobody
I don't love no one

Yes, I'm a mover, baby

Following the footsteps, one fine day
When I asked the wise man
C'mon, which was the way
He said "Follow your heart and look for yourself
And come back and tell me
What you have learned"

Yes, I'm a mover, baby

Went back and told him, I found me a wife
Eleven children and a real good life
Told him of love and there's a happy home
But I need, need to return
To that long winding road

Yes, I'm a mover, baby

I've got to move on down
Move on down

Move on


3. COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN

Hey girl, what you're doin' ?
Hey girl, you'll drive me to ruin

I don't know what it is about you
But I like it a lot
Oh, why don't you let me hold you
Let me feel your lovin' touch

Communication breakdown
It's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane

Hey girl, I got something I think you want to know
Hey girl, I wanna tell you that I love you so

I wanna hold you in my arms
And feel your love tonight
I'm never gonna let you go
'Cause I like your charms

Communication breakdown
It's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane

Communication breakdown
It's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane

Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
I want to feel your love all night
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
I'm gonna make your telephone work tonight
Communication breakdown


4. NODDING DONKEY BLUES

Settle down

She's got legs, like an airship, she's got an ass like
She's got tits, just like hot air balloons and I mean the Hindenburg!
She's the biggest girl, I'm gonna get there soon
Yeah you know what I mean

She's got love when you want it, but she never lets go when you get it
You disappear inside, you're never seen again, lost forever!
She's the biggest girl, I'm gonna get there soon
Alright, here we go

Should be some kind of guitar solo here

Well I met her in a bar, she was propping up the wall
I don't think she was available, she was made of concrete
I met her in a bar, she was propping up the wall
In fact she was nailed to it

I gotta admit, babe... lets get down to it baby
She had a brain like a sheep-dip
She got like a shepherd
She was a big girl, she was big.
I mean she was big, she was fucking huge! Enormous!
Needed a sign overhead

Never even had landing permission!
One more!
Oh we sailed across the ocean you and me

I looked like a flea on the back of a sperm whale
Oh yeah, I was waving a match inside the Albert Hall


SIDE B

1. SPACE STATION N°5

Start, with the sun
And move on out
The future's in the skies above

The heavens unfold
And a new star is born
Space and time makin' love

Oh what a time we had
Living on the ground

I've moved to station n°5
See you next time around,
Next time around

As far you want, as close as you need
It's all in the mind, you know

This old world hasn't really seen it's day
It's here, time to go

Oh what a time we had
Living on the ground

I've moved to station n°5
See you next time around,

Remember when it was so clear
We were young, but the memory still remains

To pick fruit from a tree
Fish from the seas
Now nothing's left here, but the stains
Well I can't cry no more

Can only be glad
There's other places we can be
If the time suits you right
I'm leaving tonight

Come fly away
With me!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Oh, yeah
Start, with the sun
And move on out

The future's in the skies above
The heavens unfold

A new star is born
Space and time makin' love


2. THE PRISONER

"We want information, information, information... Who are you ?
The new number two... Who is number one ? You are number six..."

"I am not a number... I am a free man !"

I'm on the run, I kill to eat
I'm starving now, feeling dead on my feet
Going all the way, I'm nature's beast
Do what I want and do as I please

Run, fight to breathe, it's tough
Now you see me, now you don't
Break the walls, I'm coming out

Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going... out

If you kill me, it's self defence
If I kill you, then I call it vengeance
Spit in your eye, I will defy
You'll be afraid when I call out your name

Run, fight to breathe, it's gonna be tough
Now you see me, and now you don't
Break the walls, I'm coming out

Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going... Out !

I'm not a number, I'm a free man
Live my life where I want to
You'd better scratch me from your black book
'Cause I'll run rings around you

Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going

I'm not a number, I'm a free man
Live my life where I want to
You'd better scratch me from your black book
'Cause I'll run rings around you

Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going


3. INFINITE DREAMS

Infinite dreams I can't deny them
Infinity is hard to comprehend
I couldn't hear those screams
Even in my wildest dreams

Suffocation waking in a sweat
Scared to fall asleep again
In case the dream begins again
Someone chasing I cannot move
Standing rigid at nightmare's statue
What a dream, when will it end
And will I transcend ?

Restless sleep the minds in turmoil
One nightmare ends another fertile
It's getting to me so scared to sleep
But scared to wake now, in too deep

Even though its reached new heights
I'd rather like the restless nights
It makes me wonder, makes me think
There's no more to this, I'm on the brink
It's not the fear of what's beyond
It's just that I might not respond
I have an interest almost craving
Would I like to get too far in ?

It can't be all coincidence
Too many things are evident
You tell me : "You're an unbeliever"
Spiritualist ? Well, me I'm neither
Would you like to know the truth
Of what's out there to have the proof
And find out just which side you're on
Where would you end, in Heaven or in Hell ?

Help me, help me to find my true
Self without seeing the future
Save me, save me from torturing
Myself even within my dreams

There's got to be just more to it than this
Or tell me why do we exist
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again and again
