lyrics

We’re living in a dust bowl,
among the screeches of a night owl;
In the distance a tumbleweed blows in the wind,
while the shaman waits for us, hidden in his blind;
The water overflows swamping the ashen floor,
and we open in silence the Venus doors;
Hey Mojo Hand, this bare garden is full of weeds,
please, take a seat, thou knowest our needs.

But the “death has reared himself a throne
In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim West,
Where the good
and the bad
and the worst
and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest”

We're darting over the moon,
in a racing car in bloom;
In Victorian leather clothes we cross the barren land,
listening the steam-powered sound that will become an explosive blend;
Heavy guns and bionic arms in the engine room,
between marmalade walls and power looms;
Crooked lines in the lead sky,
and a crosses parade behind seals of wax.
