Lyrics for Strange Machines
It has always been in the back of my mind Dreaming about going through the corners of time I always wanted to fly In strange machines I wanna do centuries in a lifetime And feel it with my hands Touch the World War II and Cleopatra Flying Could it be that my dream would come true? Building a machine that would actually do What I want it to do Russian Revolution, let's do that in one day Beethoven and Gershwin, I think that would be okay More than anything I wanna fly In strange machines I wanna do centuries in a lifetime And see it with my eyes Watch Jesus rise if he ever did Flying Disconcerting to see the sun arc in less than a minute To see a snail race by My flowers flinging wide their petals to embrace the new day I wanna do centuries in a lifetime And feel it with my hands Touch the Renaissance and Chaka Khan Flying
