The war was over several hours ago
And the future is speeding on
Aluminum people
There's a new world a-comin'
A new world a-comin'
Angel-like superior beings
Myriads of galaxies
Inhabited by intelligent beings
The war is gone
Now we're on the other side of the planet
Visions from another lifetime
The search for extra-terrestrial life
Many tiny jeweled violet flowers
Giant green waves dancing
The paper-colored sun, the world at fun
Sealed in darkness, waiting to be born (Waiting to be born)
A new kind of light has rayed through a new openness
A new kind of light has rayed through a new openness
[spoken in an Indian accent]
I swam through the slime and sludge of human degradation. Through the stinking, suffocating, pulsating throb of a heart, I catapulted the clear disk of intelligence into the void of heaven, where celestial beings revealed themselves and angels ministered unto me in the apex of Heaven! Oh, apes on heaven's earth, you will sprout a tail if you do not bind yourself this time, yayakayakababababadodododododooo...
