Beyond Electric Dreams

Lyrics

[Intro] Here we go, now! [Verse 1] No one here can show you where it is, but I can point to a sign On the roof of the world without apparent design The frozen definition of a lunatic ambition to rise The air is thin, the future is dim, dimension hard to find [Chorus] Up on a mountain Encased in solar rays Beyond electric dreams Of inarticulate passion plays Coming down a mountain Eons of a human reign The conversation of impassive planets Intercepted by the human being [Verse 2] Ratiocination is a practicable way to derive An attitude of altitude and probity by which to abide Or maybe a theophany of flaming creosote in disguise The air is thin, the future is dim, dimension's undefined [Chorus] Up on a mountain Encased in solar rays Beyond electric dreams Of inarticulate passion plays Coming down a mountain Eons of a human reign The conversation of impassive planets Intercepted by a human being [Bridge] Fear glaring cold in the crystalline geometry of night Obscuring form and tracing faceless fears of a superhuman immensity In a patch of sand, or a raptor's guileless, shivering intensity I'm only a visitor, an atom of atoms On a jutting, red-spattered synagogue of granite As it crouches, literally, in space A frozen, amoral giant gazing heavenward forever [Chorus] Let's go where the raptor goes To the mountain in a cosmic glow We'll have a genuine terrestrial show On a mountain, on a mountain Let's scan the horizon clean For any trace of human schemes And try to touch upon immortal themes On a mountain, on a mountain [Outro] Up on a mountain (Let's go where the raptor goes) Eons of human reign (To the mountain in a cosmic glow) A conversation of impassive planets (We'll have a genuine terrestrial show) Intercepted by the human being (On a mountain, on a mountain) Up on a mountain (Let's scan the horizon clean) Encased in solar rays (For any trace of human schemes) Beyond the electric dreams (And try to touch upon immortal themes) On a mountain, on a mountain (On a mountain, on a mountain) Up on a mountain (Let's go where the raptor goes) Eons of human reign (To the mountain in a cosmic glow) A conversation of impassive planets (We'll have a genuine terrestrial show) Intercepted by a human being (On a mountain, on a mountain) Up on a mountain (Let's scan the horizon clean) Encased in solar rays (For any trace of human schemes) Beyond the electric dreams (And try to touch upon immortal themes) On a mountain, on a mountain (On a mountain, on a mountain) Up on a mountain (Let's go where the raptor goes) Eons of human reign (To the mountain in a cosmic glow) A conversation of impassive planets On a mountain...
