The Time Machine - Jean-Michel Jarre

Put to the sword by an impish whim Follow me now to a place we begin Wrought with no anger, wrought with no fear Devilish children playing here Hidden in silence, below barren waste Confusion, hunger, am I still awake? Have I ever told you about my time machine? Sit you down, I'll tell you everywhere I've been I have lived a long life, life extraordinaire Let me tell you about it, let me take you there Does it really matter, it's all in the mind Let me tell you 'bout it, listen what you'll find I am not a preacher I am but a man You cannot imagine What I've seen and done I have lived a long life, I have seen the world I will tell you stories, hair will stand on end Stand among the steeples, stand upon the walls I have seen a God's face, I have no disgrace I have seen the Gods cry, howling in the wind Where do I get started, when can I begin? I am not a preacher I am but a man You cannot imagine What I've seen and done Ooh-ooh Sleep with a light that is dark to my eyes Father and sons, give me all of your lies The brutal truth that is never a lie Full moon is out as you look to the sky I am not a preacher I am but a man You cannot imagine What I've seen and done Open your heart and I'll open you soul Even in quieter moments, I know I am not a preacher I am but a man You cannot imagine What I've seen and done Eerie collection Darkness is there Wedded to danger Betrothed to despair

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah I opened up this here history book And flipped my lid when I took a look There on page two-nineteen Was this here Egpytian Queen Although she lived in 44 BC Cleopatra is the chick for me (CHORUS) I'm gonna build a time machine So I can go back and make the scene I'm gonna make some time With my Egyptian Queen In my little old time machine Pretty soon, I'll be making the gig When I set the doodad on my thingamajig I'm gonna crank and turn the dial Very soon, I'll be on the Nile Holding hands with my Cleo kid Setting in the shade of a pyramid (CHORUS) She got a daddy rich as old King Tut I hear her mommy's all wrapped up Got a room of diamonds on every shelf When I walk in, she'll say, help yourself I'll fill my pockets and after a while We'll make some time Nineteen-six-oh style (CHORUS) Look at that girl go Like she sure is? Like, wow, get the snake Away from my girl Oh, no, it's too late

She's got a feeling, the same one as you It's always fleeting, but still just as true She's always dreaming, head in the clouds She's only yours when she wants you around Goes away when she's by your side It's alright, ('aint that right?) It's been a dream, love, dreaming with you It's been a dream, love, dreaming with you Oh no You got your head in the clouds Oh no You got your head in the clouds, just like me Just like me She's just pretending she knows what to do She's got her reasons, but you've got yours too She's got her moonbeams, her fragments of light She's got you dreaming, and Darling, don't wake me up tonight It's alright Goes away when she's by your side It's alright, ('aint that right?) It's been a dream, love, dreaming with you It's been a dream, love, dreaming with you Oh no You got your head in the clouds Oh no You got your head in the clouds, just like me Oh no You've got your head in the clouds, just like me Oh no You've got your head in the clouds, just like me Oh no You got your head in the clouds, just like me Oh no You got your head in the clouds, just like me Just like me
