| DANCE WITH ME
When the heat of light melts into the speeding time
When the king returns from the ivory city-side
Let the Magnet-Mages wave the signals, flashing oh so fast
Then you'll meet me dear, under the moonshine
In a lovers' heaven, we'll keep our promises at last
In a lovers' heaven, we'll forget the past
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're reaching the gardens of delight
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're drowning in Empires of Delight
In the stardust dawn underneath the crystal roofs
Where the Solar Boys are playing games they never lose
Where the sailors are swaying through the lightdomes,
Shining from the skies
There you'll meet me, darling, anyway
In a lovers' heaven, we'll keep our promises at last
In a lovers' heaven, we'll forget the past
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're reaching the gardens of delight
Do you want to dance with me through one of those lonely nights
It's more than a dream, maybe we're drowning in Empires of Delight...
| THE NELSON HIGHRISE SECTOR 2: THE MIRROR
This is a national anthem from the flip-side of the Empire
Hand on my heart, heart on the sleeve of the constitution
Sinking right into a mirror leaving reflections on its surface
Caught in a kind of radio beacon that's sending out signals
Transmitting them backwards
Hey, tell me it's true, is this the other side of U?
Worlds gonna change with the move in your face,
Do I still walk on the same structure?
Hey, what do we know? Re(a)leasing arrows over cosmic meadows
Nothing is real, even iron or steel melting gently in the cold structure
Watching your face through a peephole as I lean against the door
Can't understand what you say but I think that you're calling my name
Leaving the ones I loved is like leaving the one they want me to be
Making decisions in real-time-precision
As millions of sailors in parallel worlds
Hey, tell me it's true, is this the other side of U?
Worlds gonna change with the move in your face,
Do I still walk on the same structure?
Hey, what do we know? Re(a)leasing arrows over cosmic meadows
Nothing is real, even iron or steel melting gently in the cold structure
Everybody walks this side of the runway
Everybody hopes to get off the trap
All we really like is to groove with emotion
Waiting for the airline to lift us up
