City of the Future

welcome to the city of the future!
welcome to the city of the future, leave your old fashioned life behind
experience the greatest technology, the blueprint of the modern age
forget your white-washed picket fences
leave behind your red brick too
the most spectacular innovation of the century
live inside our shiny metal city of the future
no trees or flowers, no lawns to mow, the city of the future
bright and shiny brass and steel, the city of the future
grand electric flight machines, the city of tomorrow
welcome to the city of tomorrow, welcome to the Babel of the sky
everything is ugly on the ground below, everything above is purified
goodbye to the old fashioned order
enter the great dawn of the machine
the future beacons as the past is fading
leads us into our destiny
live inside our shiny metal city of the future
no trees or flowers, no lawns to mow, the city of the future
bright and shiny brass and steel, the city of the future
grand electric flight machines, the city of tomorrow
won't you fly away with me into the future
leave behind the ground and soar into the city in the sky
live inside our shiny metal city of the future
no trees or flowers, no lawns to mow, the city of the future
bright and shiny brass and steel, the city of the future
grand electric flight machines, the city of tomorrow

Deus Ex Machina
03:32
|
|||
here inside the mechanical age the human soul screams out in pain
there is no love to be found here
nothing grows here anymore, it's dark and cold and desolate
come and take me far away from here
I sit here and wait for the god from the sky
the soul it sits stagnant, starts to decompose
trying so hard to pull god from machine
hark and observe the golden calf on the screen
watch out we are all on our own
something has gone terribly wrong
take me away from the soulless age
get out! please save me from this hell
wish I had a time machine, I'd go back a hundred years
get a horn and call to everyone
I'd warn them of impending doom, if only we could change our ways
don't want to live on this planet anymore
I sit here and wait for the god from the sky
the soul it sits stagnant, starts to decompose
trying so hard to pull god from machine
hark and observe the golden calf on the screen
watch out we are all on our own
something has gone terribly wrong
take me away from the soulless age
get out! please save me from this hell
deus ex machina deus
deus ex machina deus
watch out we are all on our own
something has gone terribly wrong
take me away from the soulless age
get out! please save me from this hell

End of an Era
03:54
|
|||
thus is marked the end of an era
died with the mighty Hindenburg
buried them both with our dreams for the future
whoa the humanity
we all marveled at our divine wisdom
fancied ourselves greater than god
made a machine to carry us skyward
climb to the heavens and reach for the sun
gaze oh dear father at your creation
must make your eyes just well up with pride
we turned up our noses at nature's perfection
whoa the humanity
the heavens responded with humbling fire
reduced us to ashes the wind blew away
goodbye to creation, goodbye to machine
goodbye to the era of man in the sky
and then the lights went out all over the world
goodbye to the forgotten era of yesterday
Oh the humanity!
the embers engulfing our false ambition
the future seemed brighter when compared to the past
and now I welcome a brighter tomorrow
whoa the humanity
and then the lights went out all over the world
goodbye to the forgotten era of yesterday
tomorrow washes in a bright beautiful new day

The Experience Machine
04:04
|

if ordinary life doesn't do it anymore
step right up and see the experience machine
this world is weighing down I need my paradise
even if it's real only in the mind
if ordinary life has ceased to satisfy
your wondrous desires will come alive inside
step inside and you'll be free, lifted from redundancy
wondrous desires await you here
ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
step right up and see
the amazing, the miraculous, the experience machine
step inside a wondrous fantasy
put your soul at ease set the body free
never fear what's coming, live in the here and now
even if it's real only in the mind
they say to get to heaven you only need to die
you can stay with us in our electric paradise
we've rediscovered eden in the modern age
see amazing sights beyond your wildest dreams
ladies and gentlemen, why live in want
why live in pain and fear and regret
step right up and see
the amazing, the miraculous, the experience machine
why sit in fear of what awaits
come world's collapse or judgement day
see those you've lost again, alas
and hold them in your lonely arms
your mind perceives it to be real
and how can you say otherwise
ladies and gentlemen this is your last chance
do not ride out the last of your days in the mundane squalor
do not become a victim of the modern age

Lady Loveless and Baron von Wilhelm were engaged to wed
but she longed for the strong embrace of Dr. Tesla instead
late at night by the cover of darkness the two lovers would meet
Baron von Wilhelm had intercepted the message before was sent
oh the tragedies of love, whoa the star-crossed lovers fate
electric currents of passion fly and fade into the atmosphere
they accelerate and soar and for the stars they make their way
the Baron confronted the Lady Loveless accused her unfaithful deeds
said the Lady this heart of mine is one you will never posses
and so the Lady ran away into the lonely night
in frantic search of her banished inventor whom she never would see again
in the horizon to bright shooting stars go a flying across the night sky
here at last the broken hearted would be together in peace
oh the tragedies of love, whoa the star-crossed lovers fate
electric currents of passion fly and fade into the atmosphere
they accelerate and soar and for the stars they make their way

Mechanical Love
02:20
|
|||
father said don't ever fall in love
don't take your heart and give it away
she's a mechanical lady truly one of the finest
but she wasn't made for you
man can't live with machine alone
he needs a warm body to lay next to at night
so mind your manners and wash your hands
stay away from mechanical girl
you can't fall in love with a machine
it's not natural if you know what I mean
what will mother say, I know she'll blame me
I say it's a sin, mechanical love
I heard you met at the science fair
the inventor was so proud
her eyes met yours and then she smiled
she picked you out of the crowd
the light hit her and she did shine
she shone her way into your heart
you walked her home, her golden hand in yours
sparks flew as you kissed her goodnight
you can't take our love away
my mechanical love is here to stay
don't tell me that it's not right
I see gears turn in my dreams at night
you can't fall in love with a machine
it's not natural if you know what I mean
what will mother say, I know she'll blame me
I say it's a sin, mechanical love

Nuclear Boogie
02:07
|
|||
got a new dance I'm gonna teach it to you
it's the nuclear boogie for the modern age
when the bomb drops we're gonna go out in style
gonna do the radiation two-steppin' nuclear boogie
nuclear! goodbye to family
nuclear! we're all gonna die
nuclear! I'll see you in hell
yeah yeah yeah yeah!
when they find our bodies we'll be intertwined
two neon cadavers having the finest of times
gonna give a look and then give a smile
threw a big party on our own three-mile island
nuclear! the clock is reading twelve
nuclear! now we're glowing in the dark
nuclear! let's get this party started
year yeah yeah yeah!
nuclear! goodbye to family
nuclear! we're all gonna die
nuclear! I'll see you in hell
yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Seven Demons
03:56
|
|||
seven demons, hallelujah, choir of angels to the right
fill the room with haunting music, bathed in ultra-violet light
oh to behold wondrous sights, the waking world now gone away
the judge beams through me with all-seeing eyes
oh dismay it's judgement day
goodbye, goodbye
oh dismay it's judgement day
goodbye, goodbye
seven demons, hallelujah, tried to run nowhere to go
when they look they see right through me, life of sin pour out before
what to I say to defend my ways, haven't I tried to better myself
the judge shakes his head and I'm on my way
oh dismay it's judgement day
goodbye, goodbye
oh dismay it's judgement day
goodbye, goodbye

Sic Transit Gloria Mundi
03:24
|
|||
look how the mighty fall so far from grace
there goes the house of cards tumbling down
do you remember when the world was bright
anything we possible we could do it all
behold the lord of flies atop his pale horse
rides into save the day with pestilence
do you remember when we were people too
here we are longing for our bright yesterday
nothing beautiful lasts forever
hold me tight and say goodbye
stay with me until the morning
this world's glory so soon fades
behold this rotten gold to drive us apart
hark what's that horrid voice sounds like a lie
I have seen evil's face dried up and vile
whoa for the wrongs of man, this too shall pass
nothing beautiful lasts forever
hold me tight and say goodbye
stay with me until the morning
this world's glory so soon fades
look how the mighty fell by their own hand
goodbye to charlatans cast underfoot
do you remember when we longed for this day
our bright tomorrow seems so far away
nothing beautiful lasts forever
hold me tight and say goodbye
stay with me until the morning
this world's glory so soon fades

Sun & Planet
03:48
|
|||
you are the world, you are the world
that goes on inside my head
like wheel round the sun that powers my machine
the day it ceases movin' is the day I meet my maker
your eyes they are stars, and your smile is the moon
I'm lookin' at the devil and he's lookin' oh so fine
this moment bittersweet as your presence fills the room
better stop, think twice, is it really worth it all
we're like planets round the sun
as we dance around the flame
will there ever be an end to this agonizing game
will we ever be together, or be parted from this pain
poison apple from the tree, judas kiss before I die
if this crazy orbit kills me at least I'll go out with a smile
I could choose the road less traveled but that's really not my style
I might not reach the heavens but the trip was oh so wild

Tom Collins
03:10
|
|||
have you seen Tom Collins I think he went that'a way
he's been telling tales of you, you'd better make him pay
go find him now and quickly, he sauntered towards the bar
he only left five minutes ago, he couldn't have gone too far
oh what a mystery, wherever could he be?
that ratty cad Tom Collins, worse villain I ever saw
you'd never believe the things he did to slander your good name
if I were you I'd be furious, demand an apology
best go now and look for him, before he gets away
oh what a mystery, wherever could he be?
we must find him, bring him to us
we shall not rest until he's found
we'll find that fiend Tom Collins and get our apology
I'll wrap both hands around his neck until he's quite sorry
the fiend! the rat! wherever could he have gone?
he's telling tales about us all, we're gonna shut him down
so raises your glasses to the sky and let the search begin!
tra la la la...

Waltz to Infinity
03:33
|
|||
dancing above the clouds
I hold you close in my dreams
spinning beneath the starlight
with you for always tonight
somewhere out there in space now infinite peace
I'll sing softly to you as we lie together
somewhere lost within time as we cease to exist
tranquility as we die together
we dance above the night sky
lit up by glittering stars
time and space cease to exist
this moment is only ours
somewhere out there in space now infinite peace
I'll sing softly to you as we lie together
somewhere lost within time as we cease to exist
tranquility as we die together
never stop dancing never stop singing
hold me close while you can
live in this moment like it's our last
time moves forevermore
this is our love's closing dance
this is our heart's final song
take your last breath with me
our souls can now be set free
somewhere out there in space now infinite peace
I'll sing softly to you as we lie together
somewhere lost within time as we cease to exist
tranquility as we die together
