Strange Machines

It has always been in the back of my mind

Dreaming about going through the corners of time

I always wanted to fly

In strange machines

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime

And feel it with my hands

Touch the World War II and Cleopatra

Flying

Could it be that my dream would come true?

Building a machine that would actually do

What I want it to do

Russian Revolution, let's do that in one day

Beethoven and Gershwin, I think that would be okay

More than anything I wanna fly

In strange machines

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime

And see it with my eyes

Watch Jesus rise if he ever did

Flying

Disconcerting to see the sun arc in less than a minute

To see a snail race by

My flowers flinging wide their petals to embrace the new day

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime

And feel it with my hands

Touch the Renaissance and Chaka Khan

Flying
