I love coming home to this room - it's like having a fair in my living room.

BAD RELIGION - "Beyond Electric Dreams"

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 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 have a human ring
The conversation of impassive planets
Intercepted by a human being

Ratiocination is a practicable way to derive
An attitude of altitude and probity by which to abide
Or maybe of the a theophany of flaming creosote in disguise
The air is thin, the future dim, dimension undefined

Up on a mountain encased in solar rays
Beyond electric dreams of inarticulate passion plays
Coming down a mountain, eons have a human ring
The conversation of impassive planets
Intercepted by a human being

Here glaring cold in the crystalline geometry of night,
Obscuring form and tracing faceless fears
Of a suprahuman immensity in a patch of sand
Or a raptors guileless shivering intensity,
I'm only a visitor,
An atom of atoms on a jutting red splattered 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

Let's go where the raptor goes (Coming down a mountain)
To the mountain in a cosmic glow (Eons have a human ring)
We'll have a genuine terrestrial show (The conversation of impassive planets)
On a mountain (Intercepted by a human being)
On a mountain

Let's scan the horizon clean (Up on a mountain)
For any trace of human schemes (Encased in solar rays)
And try to touch upon immortal themes (Beyond Electric Dreams)
On a mountain
On a mountain

Let's go where the raptor goes (Coming down a mountain)
To the mountain in a cosmic glow (Eons have a human ring)
We'll have a genuine terrestrial show (The conversation of impassive planets)
On a mountain
On a mountain

Let's scan the horizon clean (Up on a mountain)
For any trace of human schemes (Encased in solar rays)
And try to touch upon immortal themes (Beyond Electric Dreams)
On a mountain
On a mountain

Let's go where the raptor goes (Coming down a mountain)
To the mountain in a cosmic glow (Eons have a human ring)
We'll have a genuine terrestrial show (The conversation of impassive planets)
On a mountain
