Powerman 5000 Album

spinning complacently in the darkness covered and blinded by a blanket of little lives,
false security has lulled the madness of this world into a slumber, wake up!!
an eye is upon you, staring straight down and keenly through,
seeing all that you are and everything that you will never be.
yes, and eye is upon you, and eye ready to blink.
so face forward, with arms wide open and mind reeling.
Your future has arrived ...
are you ready to go?

Are you the future or are you the past,
have you been chosen or are you the last
the pictures were sent they seem so unreal
now im made of plastic, wire and steel

follow for now and follow for this
cause everybody follows for nothing at all?
supernova your supernova ...
supernova goes pop
supernova you think it's over but supernova don't stop

can you explain just what you are,
cause i've never been this close to a star
the message was sent you know what to do,
everybody needs to be someone don't you

follow for now and follow for this
cause everybody follows for nothing at all?
supernova your supernova ...
supernova goes pop
supernova you think it's over but supernova don't stop

what is it really that is going on here,
you've got the system for total control
so is there anybody out there,
now watch us suffer, cause we can't go
what is it really that is in your head,
what little life that you had just died
i'm gonna be the one that's taking over,
now this is what it's like when worlds collide ...

are you ready to go - cause i'm ready to go - what you gonna do baby - baby
are you going with me - cause i'm going with you - it's the end of all time

what is it really that motivates you, the need to fly or this fear to stop
i'll go along for the ride but surprise, when we get there is say 9 of 10 drop
now who's the light and who is the devil, you can't decide so i'll be your guide
and one by one they will be hand chosen,
now this is what it's like when worlds collide ...

are you ready to go - cause i'm ready to go - what you gonna do baby - baby
are you going with me - cause i'm going with you - it's the end of all time

what is it really when they're falling over,
everything that you thought was denied
i'm gonna be the one that's takin over,
now this is what it's like when worlds collide

Scary monsters and super peeps
the more you dream the less you sleep
life as you know it has gone away
unbound, unwound, who's here to stay
Could you predict, could you foresee artificial by necessity
rockets and robots can save your life when you don't care about what's real it's alright

nobody's real but they're willing to let you know
nobody's real but they'll feel it tonight
nobody's real but they're willing to let you go
nobody's real but they'll feel it

nobody's real

how do you sleep with the time that's left you,
it's all been done there's no need for the rescue
so let's just get out, i swear there's no doubt,
you can't be ready cause there's nothing left to do...

There's a system to the system - i don't fit in the system.
go yeah go but don't expect me to miss you -
trying to find a hole in the bottom of the soul-less,
thinking about the world from the edge, you can't control this.
now what the fuck are you some kind of half-assed astronaut?
just a moment please i must insist that you stop

Hang on to tomorrow because tonight the stars revolt!
do you believe and will you learn to scream like me

there's nothing to it when the stars revolt!

they're only doing what they're told
what's the mystery the lights of death and fame shine on
invaders from inside can easily replace you now

hang on to tomorrow because tonight the stars ...
target earth for me because tonight the stars ...
sing your favorite song because tonight the stars ...
show the way to die because tonight the stars revolt!

the trip is on for a million miles, 93 to the sun
take your place and you say good-bye

it's automatic, it's automatic
it's automatic, your the one
it's automatic, it's automatic
your day alive has just begun

what's in the air, who's in the mind,
where's the light in your eye
within the realm of the possible,
it's no big surprise

it's automatic, it's automatic
it's automatic, your the one
it's automatic, it's automatic
your day alive has just begun

brilliant sheep lead to brilliant babies,
a thousand stars a million maybes
captivating the captivated,
save the souls of those that you have created

sitting with your eye shut tightly,
waiting for the time you must leave
surrounded by people that you'll never know
still you must go and transmit the sound
of what you have found and
leave everything that you knew behind

let's go, i know the son of X-51
and so, you'll know your time has only begun

can it be what you want it to be, can it be everything
can it be what you need it to be, begging you to believe

let's go, i know the son of X-51
and so, you'll know your time has only begun

watching with your arms wide open, thinking everyone should just stop
surrounded by people that you'll never need, a plan to deceive
is what we all need, and keep everything that you knew inside

want to be everybody
wish that i wasn't me
was dropped from out of sight
was bit by the bug, grew 47 feet tall
wasn't who i thought i was
wasn't anything at all

i want to be everybody
i wish i wasn't me
i'm the bones of the dead
superhero trustee
not seven minutes have past
and everybody got blasted
operate annihilate and everything is alright...

OPERATE, ANNIHILATE!
what you got, you got too late, cause everybody's gone

i want to be everyone
i wish i wasn't me
the point furthest from is from a point of view less likely
you were the king of the moon
now you just lie in the dirt
where is the fist of fury
now everybody get hust

i want to be everybody
i wish i wasn't me
the real truth is in the head of truth is insanity
not seven minutes have past
and everybody got blasted
operate annihilate and everything is alright...

blast off, blast off to nowhere
blast off ... this time to go
blast off, blast off to nowhere
blast off ... are you really what you think so

please just kill me now
or get me off this rock
cause i can't stand to see your faces
and i can't stand to hear you talk

blast off, blast off to nowhere
blast off ... this time to go
blast off, blast off to nowhere
blast off ... are you really what you think so

prepared for anything
case this time is for real
burn the souls of those left behind
and i don't care how you feel
cause it's time...
to blast OFF

gone for a moment that you'll never know
all of these things you can't control

they know who you are!!
they know who you are!!
they know who you are!!
they know who you are!!

gone for a moment that you'll never know
all of these things that you can't control
the lights from above they move in real slow
giving you things that you'll never know

they know who you are!!
they know who you are!!
they know who you are!!
they know who you are!!

one for machines that fill up the sky
and one for the demon that lights up you eye
they know who you are!!

let the good times roll
let them knock you around
let the good times roll
let them make you a clown
let them leave you up in the air
let them brush your rock and roll hair

let the good times roll
let the good times roll
let the good times roll
let the stories be cold

they can say what they want
let the photos be old
let them show what they want
if the illusion is real
let them give you a ride
if they got thunder appeal
let them be on your side

watch the sky for me
watch the night
i'll be there for you
in starlight
as you feet touch the ground
i'll be floating along

watch the sky for me

tonight

just as every moment leads you to the past
just as everything has gone
i'm the one you need
to know that there is someone else
just as this is now

goodbye
