Hawkwind

Brock - )
Well my body's burning up
And I'm feeling so bad
And I think it must be something that I've just had
Screaming sounds are buzzing through my brain
Am I mad or am I sane?

I can't control my body anymore
It's reaching down into the very core
I've gotta find a way of solving the solution
Is this what they call brainbox pollution?

Take my hand, I'll lead you on
To learn so far, my dreams your own
Is this world that we all find
It's leaving us so far behind

Turner - )
Sanding on the runway waiting for takeoff, I wanna fly,
wanna watch me flake off,
I can't move 'cause the man has a rake off, you gotta help me,
help me to shake off,
This body of mine, I wanna get out of this void,
This body of mine, and I don't wanna be destroyed,
this body of mine, I don't wanna turn android,
This body of mine, you gotta help me avoid that,
Brainstorm, here I go, Brainstorm, flying low
Brainstorm, I wanna miss it, Brainstorm, you'd bet I'd kiss it,
this body goodbye.
I can't get no peace until 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,
I wanna get out of this void,
this body of mine, and I don't wanna be destroyed,
this body of mine, I don't wanna turn android,
this body of mine, you gotta help me avoid that,
Brainstorm, here I go, Brainstorm, flying low
Brainstorm, I wanna miss it, Brainstorm, you'd bet I'd kiss it,
this body goodbye

Brock - )
Down down and down, down down and down
As we spin through the night
With ever increasing might
Down down and down, down down and down
Returning volumes of sound
Into the blackness we drown
Round round and round, round round and round
As we lay in our sleep
The appointment we keep
Down down and down, down down and down
Only the rushing is heard
Onward flies the bird
Down down and down, down down and down
Returning volumes of sound

There's only one course of action
Left for me to take
I've tried every switch selection
That might control this state
I think for my protection
I better make it straight
Into Ejection
Better tell Base
Ejection
That I think it's a case
For Ejection
Explode into Space
Ejection
Protect my Face
Ejection

The radar screen's projection
Tells me I'm too late
To make a course correction
I'm about to meet my fate
No time for reflection
I'd better make it straight
Into Ejection
Bust through the sky
Ejection
The air rushing by
Ejection
It's a case of goodbye
Ejection
I'm too fast to die
Ejection

When a ship meets with destruction
The Captain stays to drown
But no tin contraption
Is going to drag me down
My reference intersection
Tells me that I'm bound
For Ejection
Eight times my weight
Ejection
I've got to escape
Ejection
Only one move to make
Ejection
Abandon this crate
Ejection

The elements that gather here upon this hill
shall cast no fear
Of lines that match across the world for travel
which no man has heard
The moon that shines its beam so bright
of stones that measure the silvery light
of energy that travels here
it happens on the seventh year.
From the realms beyond the sun
here our lifetime has begun
perhaps to die
A day shall come we shall be as one

Space is dark, it is so endless, when you're lost it's so relentless
It is so big, it is so small, why does man try to act so tall,
Is this the reason deep in our minds.
It does not feel, it does not die, space is neither truth nor lie
Into the void we have to travel, to find the clue that will unravel
Is this the reason deep in our minds
The secrets lie with our tomorrow, in each of us a hidden sorrow
The path goes onward through the night beyond the realms of
ancient light.
Is this the reason deep in our minds

Kilminster - )
We are looking in on you now
What do you think you can do now
You're so very small from way out here
The last thing you will feel is fear
I gave you the chance to do the right thing
I gave you the chance to do the bright thing
Now my sense is so disgusted
Re-affirm you can't be trusted
A world imprisoned screams with pain
There are no leaders you can blame
Human greed has destroyed your sphere
And there's no room for you out here
This is the end now

Brock - )
Time we left this world today
Time we left this world today
Time we left this world today
So many people seem to say
"Time we left this world today"
They watch you as you seem to say
"Time we left this world today"
They watch you as you walk the street
Cast sly glances at who you meet
Brain police are not far behind
Trying to make you lose your minds
Time we left this world today
Watch you as you walk the streets
Make you sit in your house and say
"Time we left this world today"
So many people seem to say
"Time we left this world today

Brock - )
I'm an urban guerilla
I make bombs in my cellar
I'm a derelict dweller
I'm a potential killer
I'm a street fighting dancer
I'm a revolutionary romancer
I'm society's cancer
I'm a two-tone panther
So let's not talk of love and flowers
And things that don't explode
We've used up all of our magic powers
Trying to do it in the road

I'm a political bandit
And you don't understand it
You took my dream and canned it
It is not the way I planned it
I'm society's destructor
I'm a petrol bomb constructor
I'm a cosmic light conductor
I'm the people's debt collector
So watch out Mr. Business Man
Your empire's about to blow
I think you'd better listen, man
In case you did not know

Space is infinite, it is dark
Space is neutral, it is cold
Stars occupy minute areas of space
They are clustered a few billion here
And a few billion there
As if seeking consolation in numbers
Space does not care, space does not threaten
Space does not comfort
It does not speak, it does not wake
It does not dream
It does not know, it does not fear
It does not love, it does not hate
It does not encourage any of these qualities
Space cannot be measured, it cannot be
angered, it cannot be placated
It cannot be summed up, space is there
Space is not large and it is not small
It does not live and it does not die
It does not offer truth and neither does it lie
Space is a remorseless, senseless, impersonal fact
Space is the absence of time and of matter

We were born to go, we're never turning back
We were born to go, and leave a burning track
We were born to go, and leave no star unturned
We were born to grow, we were born to learn
We're breaking out of the shell, we're breaking free
We're hatching our dreams into reality
We were born to blaze a new clear way through space
A way out of the maze, that held the human race
We were born to go, as far as we can find
We were born to go, to blow the human mind

Sanding on the runway waiting for takeoff, I wanna fly,
wanna watch me flake off,
I can't move 'cause the man has a rake off, you gotta help me,
help me to shake off,
This body of mine, I wanna get out of this void,
This body of mine, and I don't wanna be destroyed,
this body of mine, I don't wanna turn android,

I've got an orgone accumulator
It makes me feel greater
I'll see you sometime later
When I'm through with my accumulator

It's no social integrator
It's a one man isolator
It's a back brain stimulator
It's a cerebral vibrator

Those energy stimulators
Just turn your eyeballs into craters
But an orgone accumulator
Is a superman creator

It's no social integrator
It's a one man isolator
It's a back brain stimulator
It's a cerebral vibrator

I've got an orgone accumulator
And it makes me feel grater
I'll see you sometime later
When I'm through with my accumulator.

I would rather the fire storms of atmospheres
Than this cruel descent from a thousand years
of dreams, into the starkness of the capsule.

Where two of our crew still lay suspended cool
in their tombs of sleep.
Those nagging choirs of memory
the tubes and wires
worming from their flesh to machinery
I would have to cut

Such midwifery is but one function of the leader here
Floating in a sac of fluid dark
A clear century of space
Away from Earth
While one man stares from the trauma of his birth
Attending to the hypno-tapes
Assuring him
that this was reality
however grim
Our journey's end

Landing itself was nothing
We touched upon a shelf of rock
selected by the automind
And left a galaxy of dreams behind.....

When I stand upside down
Can't get a thing together and I don't know why
Oh dear you look so good
Don't you think it's heaven like you knew you would
Oh dear what shall I do
(???????????) reason and it's up to you
I stand upside down
Can't get a thing together and I don't know why
You know you look so fine
Can't get a thing together and I don't know why
I stand upside down
Can't get a thing together and I don't know why
Oh dear what shall I do?
(???????????) reason and it's up to you
I stand upside down
Can't get a thing together and I don't know why

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

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

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

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

(We're the psychedelic warlords
Playing spaced out rock and roll
Hang on to your heads now
Because we were born to go)

We're sick of politicians
harassment and laws
All we do is get screwed up
By other people's flaws

You think you know the answers
But we don't tell no lies
We can take you any way
Through seven different highs

The world's turned upside down now
There's nothing else to do
Except live in concrete jungles
That just block up the view

We're the psychedelic warlords
And that ain't no joke
Travel with us to lands far out
And just disappear in smoke

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

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.
