Earthmoving Macjine Ballet Co.
Lyrics by: Dege Legg
Machines made into Towers,
Crushing the alien skulls to powder.
I'll drink to you from the hour glass,
Smashed on a flower.
Irons split on marble walls
Where brave men cower...
Cave dwellers putting fire to stones.
Fossilized digitally encoded bones.
Where all is seen
But not shown...
to the virgin girls
with funny secrets
in the showers.
Hear the thunder rumble
Hear the thunder rumble
The mountain-side's gonna tumble.
A shoulder to the bluff, it crumbles
Like sand or glass shattered on a number.
900,000 A.D.
All evidence: destroyed
Systematically.
Pragmatically.
Higher life forms, handing out
Jester hats to the pallbearers.
Old World speeches
Crushed'neath granite feathers.
It's all just a mating call
For some future revolt.
10,000
Air raid sirens,
Howling out of unison.
Soliloquies of static roar.
I confess I've made the Eggman cry,
But his love wasn't as pure as mine
...thunder pooled in empty machines
...thunder pooled in empty machines
...thunder pooled in empty machines
It's a ballet of earth-moving machines.
A ballet of earth-moving machines
A ballet of earth-moving machines
Coming round the corner.
I hear them coming round the corner.
A valley of earth-moving machines.
A ballet of earth-moving machines.
