Let it Roll
Come on, my love
...come in, don't be a stranger...
There are times, many times...
...When myself I've done stranger...
...stranger, stranger...
Let it roll lassy, roll.

Come what may, anyway...
I was born not to follow
There are times, many times...
When my pride I must swallow.
...follow...
...swallow...
oh let it roll lassy, roll.

Because in time, it goes away...
Time proves nothing stays.
The time for change has ended...
It loves you still but I never will again

Funeral
Jesus, here lies my brother
Tortured and blown
Stretch for the heavens and go
I watch him go
Here it comes

Jesus was a poor boy
Jesus was a poor boy
"It's just a spring clean for the May queen"
I'm coming home

And this one's for the life
This one's for the funeral in the rain
And id only for tonight
This one's for the funeral in the rain

The day's gone and the year's gone
And I don't know when I'm coming home 
I can't hold on to what I've had
When what I've had 
There's nothing left at all

So this one's for the life
This one's for the funeral in the rain
And if only for tonight
Close your eyes and try to sleep again

A world away, you turn away
I'm wide awake, and I don't need your home
Tell me why he went, it seems to be
An element to this mystery
It's so cold today, so I get away, and I'm left behind with nothing but words

Deadhead
You are a sun Goddess
Will you save me?
Hooray for you.
Hooray.
Now the rain it comes, the rain it blurs the grey line
?the grey line?the Greyhound home
You are so vicious (Hurt me, I can take it)
Cause it?s all in the heat of the moment,
It?s all in the pain
Sonar, sonar again?
It?s on again, (got no wings?gossamer wings?) ?on again?
You are a sun Goddess!!!
Will you save me? ?babe?babe?babe?
Cause it?s all in the heat of the moment
It?s all in the pain!!!
So give in to the heat of the moment
Give in to the pain!!!

Ih-Ah!
as everything in life, comes together now
i need your mind
and everything is light, i remember now
i see you rise.
and all the lonely things, seem to want to change
i'll sleep on it tonight.
ih-ah!!
we don't even understand
something's going on
we don't even understand
so how could this be wrong...ah!
ih-ah!
i'm so in love with you
...how could i?
ever be untrue.
am i with you?
with everything i do.
god i love you.
i love you...
we don't even understand
something's going on
we don't even understand
so how could we be wrong
we don't know or care
somethings always there
we see it's in own our hands,
but we just don't understand.

Love?
MARCH!!!

LOVE...is a way of feeling
LOVE is a way of feeling less alone
So what's all the fuss about?!?


LOVE: the paradox of needing
OH LOVE,
MAKE WAY FOR BREEDING

I know what I stand for;
I STAND FOR ME!!!

I'll wait for the nigiht to come
So far, suicide at home
For I'm not the man you know
This love it's about control

OH WHAT A FEELING!!!!!
OH WHAT A FEEDING!!!!!
Know the chosen ones ARE HERE!
ALL HAIL!!!

I'll wait for the night to come
So far, suicide at home
For I'm not the man you know...
This love,
IT'S ABOUT CONTROL

ALL IN THE NAME OF LOVE
ALL IN THE NAME OF LOVE
ALL IN THE NAME OF LOVE

Hyperdrive
So cold, in the night,
Where the river flows,
Where the river flows,
So cold, in the night,
Where the river flows,
Where the river flows,
Sail away,
Hey, I'm sorry,
Everyday is a new day.
Hooray for love,
Hey, I'm lonely,
Trying to find a new way.
So cold, in the night,
Where the rivers slow,
Say the rivers slows,
So cold, in the night,
Where the rivers slow,
Say the rivers slows,
So cold...
Connect!
So cold, in the night,
Hold on...
Hold on...
So cold, in the night,
Hold on...
Hold on...
Sail away,
Hey I'm sorry,
Every day's a new day,
Hooray for love.
Hey I'm lonely
Try and be on your way,
On your way...
On your way...

She loves me not...

[Narrator:]
Having made their way through space, Captain Spectacular and his intrepid crew have arrived in nebulo 9.
Unbeknownst to the humans, Ziltoid has also arrived

[Ziltoid:] Haha! Surprise!

Terminal
hey,
flow the waterways of letting go
another day...
permanently allocate the maximum
and leave it to go...
change,
and leave without a trace for her to know
a hollow day
slow it down evenly paced, you've never known
and leave them alone

hey,
tell me theres a lot of ways i need to know
another day,
terminally out of phase and ill disposed
just leave it alone

sane,
you can teach a man better to view with loose control
another way...
you pick your point, settle to be and let things go...
just leave them alone...

hey,
tell me theres a lot of ways i need to know
another day...
terminally out of phase and ill disposed
just leave them alone.

Coast
the way it goes, is the way it goes.
i'm all right to go
so go...
...you go.
they took their things and headed for the coast
denied of all in life they needed most
loves forgotten child
born into the wild
come to the coast, come to the coast, come to the coast
come to the coast it will find you...
the fallout from the california glow
toronto's frozen over this every man should know
i've forgotten now
won't you show me how?
come.
so run away, so run away from here.
just run away, just run away my dear...
'cause love's forgotten child...
so go into the wild
...come.
somebody took me away...something controls me...

Solar Winds
[Narrator:]
Now, being hailed as the ultimate 4th dimensional guitar hero, Ziltoid feels confident in his complete victory.
But, Captain Spectacular has seen through Ziltoid's façade and now sets out to expose Ziltoid for what he really is...a nerd.
A nerd...

We now join Captain Spectacular as he introspectively gazes out of his starship window, on his way to find the fifth dimensional nebulo 9.

Did you know that time,
Is not a straight line?
Everything that you learn,
Now it's gone,
Gone away.
You take your time,
If you choose,
You'll burn...
Everything that you were,
Now it's gone,
Gone away.
Yeah it's gone,
Gone away,

Yeah it's gone,
Gone away,
Gone!
And the world is gone!
And we find theirs no-one that's,
Waiting for the light to come,
And we are on our own,
And we find theirs no-one that's,
Waiting for the light to call,
Now you're on your own,
And You we find theirs no-one that's,
Waiting for the light to call.

[Captain Spectacular:]
I must rise! I must find a way! For this...Ziltoid will surely pay!
My fellow humans! I, Captain Spectacular, hereby give my good word!

Yeah it's gone, gone away,
Yeah it's gone, gone away,
Yeah it's gone, gone.

Solar wind blows,
Through my eye and control mind,
Solar wind blows,
Through my eye and control my mind,
Say it again!
Say it again!
Words are used for weapons!
Say it again, and again and again and again and again and again!
Don't let her down,
You've led her into my world!
Hey, you'll never learn,
You've led her into my mind.
Through your soul,
Your solar winds blowing cold.
You've never learned,
You've led her into my world.
Solar workings of your door,
The solar wind,
The solar winds blowing cold.

[Ziltoidian:] Commander Ziltoid, Permission to speak!
[Ziltoid:] Granted...
[Ziltoidian:] It appears as if Captain Spectacular and the remaining humans have set a course to the benevolent hive mine 9!
[Ziltoid:] Indeed...

Comfort me; you know I'm right,
Come to me into the night,
Knowing we are right behind,
The solar wind the solar winds blowing cold!
(Solar winds, solar winds blowing cold)

[Ziltoidian:] Commander Ziltoid the humans are no longer on our radar!
[Ziltoid:] What! Curses they must have jumped into hyperdrive. Phooey! Indeed, phooey! Until we meet again commander...

Thing Beyond Things
Once when I was young, I used to dream for hours and hours
I'd dream a world that wasn't small
And I'd travel to a valley where under tress and earth 
I'd set my girl
And I knelt down by her head
And lay roses in her hair and I kissed her gently
But this is what you are
As the sun sets in my eyes I know
I know I know I know I know I know

And I know this one's the light
And the worm inside of me 
Is the oldest wound that I've nursed along
So don't try to get inside 
These things inside are wrong, things beyond things

It's sick now
It's rotten to the core, it's eyes bulge and gaze at me
Lovingly
And I remember this smell from my dreams except it was sweeter then
And even in this room, where I used to lock my secrets 
It's starting to smell just like my friend
And I told you not to breathe, so now I sit and watch the rain, I know
I know I know I know I know I know I know I know

And I know this one's the dark
And the woman inside of me, is the oldest wound that
I've nursed along
So don't try to get inside
These things inside are all just things.
