Beyond Electric Dreams lyrics

Here we go, now!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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...
