...Night!

You can halt your car for an afternoon in Utopia
We shall stop the wars on those afternoons in Utopia

Hello today - open your eyes
The snow is falling just like leaves
Aquarrian Warriors rebuild the ship
Mr Rainbow is gone
Hello my love, here's to your heart
Unfold the Lillies in the deep
The season's over, the shores are sealed
Now ashen roses rain on the fields
Innocent dreamers, look what you've done
Now it's time for the Phoenix to fly

Hello today - wake to the dawn
To meet the guardians of the Isles
The valient captains will rule the seas
'Til the comet's return
Hello, my love, here's to your heart
Release that dream into the world
Join in the air race, leaving tonight
How does it feel to follow the light?
Beautiful Dreamer, it's up to you
If we glide through the glamour of love

We believe in our dreams
Reaching out for above
We believe in our dreams
Reaching out for love


gold/1985

Waiting on this empty street
Watching the river's waves go by
Feeling mellow, lighting a cigarette
Silver moon floats through the night
Eris, Princess of the Isles
Disperse your sparkling trace
Lead him on to the house of love
Where the God may turn his eyes

To Jerusalem we pray
It's time to meet you there
Let's take love to Jerusalem - oh, yeah
Let's make love

You might be the one I'm waiting for
I think we've met somewhere for sure
Chasing shadows leaves you feeling blue
This situation needs a cure
New assassins, new messiahs
Keepers of the balbanced law
Strangest lovers of the fire
Which ignites the Halo of our souls

In Jerusalem we pray
It's time to meet you there
Let's take love to Jerusalem - oh, yeah
Let's make love

Big yellow cadillac, carry me back home
On glory roads of pure delight
We head out for the stars

When the heat of light melts into the speeding time
When the king returns from the ivory city side
Let the Magnet-Mages wave the signals, flashing, oh, so fast
There you'll meet me dear under the moonshine
In a lover's Heaven, we'll keep our promises at last
In a lover's Heaven, we'll forget the past

Do you want to dance with me
Through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe
We're reaching the gardens of delight
Do you want to dance with me
Through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe
We're drowning in Empires of Delight

In the stardust dawn underneath the crystal roofs
Where the Solar Boys are playing games they never lose
Where the sailors are swaying through the Lightdomes
Shining from the skies
There you'll meet me, darling, anyway
In a lover's Heaven, we'll keep our promises at last
In a lover's Heaven, we'll forget the past

Do you want to dance with me
Through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe
We're reaching the gardens of delight
Do you want to dance with me
Through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe
We're drowning in Empires of Delight

Acrobats & Comets are floating by so fast
Children's faces S.M.I.L.E. like suns at last
Lilac butterflies are cruising without fear
All inviting you to stay and rest here

You can halt your car
For an afternoon in Utopia
We shall stop the wars
On those afternoons in Utopia

Mighty Maomoondog drifts across the grass
Healing lullabies for Easter Time on Mars
Paint your hats and shoes with flowers and with stars
Singing to Metropolitan Operas

You can halt your car
For an afternoon in Utopia
We shall stop the wars
On those afternoons in Utopia

Listen to the news changes are coming soon
Atlantic engineers & cities in the moon
You better look across the ocean
Now tell me what you see
The southern cross explodes into the colours of the sea
Mighty Maomoondog skips across the waves
Kick the door & hit the shore & be somebody else
Supersonic landscapes are melting in your hair
Bubblegum comedians are planting skylarks in the air

Here we go with the new sensation
We‚re on every station
Such a kind of a legend to turn you on
Dig that rhythm Genie
And listen to the voice of the dolphin

Listen to your radio...

All across the planet, politicians tremble
Continental sister‚s rocking with the liquid gambler
Now the time is here, now it‚s coming true
The enigmatic ecstasy is overwhelming you
Acrobats & Comets streaking by
40,000 sirens are waiting in the sky
Innersexual circuits are cruising without fear
All inviting you for partytiming here

That‚s the start of the new sensation
We‚re on every station
Such a kind of a legend to turn you on
Dig that rhythm Genie
And listen to the voice of the dolphin

Listen to your radio...

Listen to me - Listen to the voice of the dolphin
You‚d better return to the sea - listen to his Majesty
You‚d better return to the sea - You better return to the me...

Here's the new sensation
We're on every station...

(Gold/Lloyd/Echolette)

In the beginning
There was no light
No teenage heaven or hell
No songs or voices came from across the outlands
Where oceans are meant to be -- where oceans are meant to be

Oh my God, I feel so alone -- some million lightyears far from home
HOW ABOUT YOU LIVING IN THE 20TH CENTURY

You can halt your car to get your tickets to the starlite skies, you know...
Ev'rybody wants to come home (what a dream)
So, if you don't mind,
Will you join me?
On my way through the eye
up to the light
Into the world...

Now she's touched the Earth, you feel her love
Pourin' down like an endless rain of colours on your skin
She descends out of the blue, a breathless victor of time
After more than a million light years preparing her comeback
And she's rushing in from the outside
On the crest of the seventh wave
She's the crown of creation creating you

(The Voyager) is here to stay
(The Voyager) she's calling all stars
(The Voyager) she's riding a rainbow
(The Voyager) gives you the kiss of life

(The Voyager)
(The Voyager)
(The Voyager)
(The Voyager gives you the kiss of life)

Watch out, you can't ignore what's going on
When your visions are drying out like the oceans from the underworld
Don't you know before you turn to stone
You better head out for a Royal trip to the Ivory city-side
And she' rushing in from the outside
On the crest of the seventh wave
She's the crown of creation creating you

(The Voyager) is here to stay
(The Voyager) she's calling all stars
(The Voyager) she's riding a rainbow
(The Voyager gives you the kiss) gives you the kiss of life
(The Voyager)
(The Voyager)
(The Voyager)
(The Voyager gives you the kiss of life)
(The Voyager)
(The Voyager)
(The Voyager)
(The Voyager gives you the kiss of life) gives you the kiss of life

She sits by the window, stares into the night
Just waiting for a foreign sound from the outside
Far beyond the atmospheres, she is listening for a call
To take her homewards to herself
Oh, I love you so
He who's master of the icy shots won't harm you in the morning
She knows that the pavement's hard
There between the stars
To travel on to Martian-Homesick-City

She is weeping silently, but there‚s not a tear
Just raindrops falling from the painted ceiling
The dance of the foraging bee will number all the things
She has been longing for since she was young
"I will not pass this night in vain", she says
"I'll stand this kind of rain
I'll break the glass, I'll find the path"
Yes, Carol wants to go to Mars
Back where the red, cold sun
Is sinking to the Channels of A'DAAR

Day breaks through the grating
Someone moves a chair
And sunlight blisters dazzling on a glass
Take a pill and greet the day
For sedative holidays
Why aren't you sleeping at night?
Oh, I love you so
He who's master of the icy shots won't harm you 'til the evening
We shall meet tomorrow night
And I'll kiss you just as tenderly
As CYGNUS kissed the deserts

We shall meet tomorrow night
And I'll kiss you just as tenderly
As CYGNUS kissed the deserts

If you want a new connection
I'll be just a step away
Come on move in my direction
Leave your dollshouse at the breaking of the day
Get this message from your heartbeat
There's an ally you can trust
You've been searching for adventure
Follow me, let's take a golden path

CHORUS
There's a Universal Daddy for everyone
From Universal Kingdom Number One
He sends his Universal Angels through the air
To Universal Dreamers everywhere, blowing kisses

Any girl from any nation
Any boy could drive my car
I'll supply the next sensation
It'll happen if you wish upon a star
Throwing stones against your windows
Don't pretend you're not at home
You can meet me if you want me
But I'd like to meet you all alone

CHORUS

CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS

Lonely boy gazing on the afternoon
People drifting cross the surface of the twilight day
There's a Little Yellow Man, standing by the railway station
Painting portraits on the brick - walls of Billie Holloway
Lovely Lady S. M. I. L. E.
Dance, my dear, I'm only operating on "Lassie Come Home"
"This was authentic you" she spoke,
"this was authentic you who blew me cold"
He had no chance to realize,
It hit her straight between the eyes
So I've been told

In the park, she's giving out some photographs
On which she's giving out some photos of what she hands around
"They videod a ghost tonight", she said before I turned it out
"It rode an orange paper - bike, and left without a sound. "
Keep on riding, Sir
Open up the door and shout it out:
"Lassie Come Home, Come Home!!"
"This was authentic you?" she spoke, "this was authentic you who blew, who blew
Me cold"
I had no chance to realize,
It hit her straight between the eyes
So I've been told

Lonely Girl dancing in the music - hall
Lightning struck her silver starship and turned it into stone
And now it's falling all the time into that void beyond her gray eyes
Somewhere a telephone is ringing, but nobody's at home
"Hello Junkie - Sweetheart, listen now
This is your Captain calling:
Your Captain is dead. "
Keep on riding, Sir, open up the door
And shout it out - shout it out...
Lassie come home - Lassie come home Lassie come home - Lassie come
Home...

Little girl - do you know what you are (do you know)
This baby's gonna be a STAR - do you know-wow
A Teenangel-Empress from Hollywood highs
(With wonderful eyes)
You're beautiful - put on your strato-blue suit -
(Put it on)
I know that you're in the mood to fly
And you get the power to make it come true -
The most exciting news

CHORUS
We'll be together 'til the end of time
And when you S.M.I.L.E., Red Rose
It's just like Blue Sunshine, Blue Sunshine
Oh, we're ascending and we'll never die
'Cause when we kiss, Red Rose
We're changing 6 to 9
It's Revolution Time
When 6 turns into 9

Move over - closer to my phantasies (pretty baby)
We're standing at the turn of the centuries
The daughter of time is groovin' Tonight - Tonight - Tonight
Tonight, little dreamer, you're the DJ of your soul (little dreamer)
C'mon let's swing to that Rock and Roll
The sweetest arrows of desire
Will set this night on fire

CHORUS

(Change, change 6 to 9)
(Change, change 6 to 9)
(Change, change 6 to 9)
(Change, change 6 to 9)

Above the City of the million Moons
We'll reach the Palace of the Sun
DO WHAT YOU WILL - shall be your destiny
We will unfold the secrets of the new JERUSALEM

CHORUS

(Albert & the Heart Of Gold)

There was a young lady named Bright
Whose speed was much faster, much faster than light
She departed one day in a relative way
And returned on the previous...
