Strange Machines Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It has always been in the back of my mind
Dreaming about going to the corners of time
I always wanted to fly in strange machines
[Chorus 1]
I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch the World War II and Cleopatra
Flying...
[Verse 2]
Could it be that my dream would come true
Building a machine that would actually do
What I want it to do
[Verse 3]
Russian revolution, let's do that in one day
Beethoven and Gershwin, I think that would be OK
More than anything I wanna fly in strange machines
[Chorus 2]
I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And see it with my eyes
Watch Jesus rise, if he ever did
Flying...
[Chorus 3]
I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch the Renaissance and Chaka Khan
Flying...
