From the recording Tomorrow's Reminder
Lyrics
Time Machine
I set the controls for 1910
I’m gonna see my baby again
The girls back then don’t live in sin
I can even find a virgin
I’m going back to simpler days
Before there were nukes
Before there were gays
Time, time take me away
Take me way back to another day
If you’re going my way
I go it alone
One second I’m here
The next one I’m gone
Through a vortex of space and time
You never know who or what you will find
Hitler, Napoleon, Mao Tse Tung
I saw them at a bar toasting all for one
Rome, Egypt, ancient Babylon
I pass them all by, I’m going on
Cleopatra and Helen of Troy
Such naughty girls seducing good boys
Adam and Eve, a snake in the grass
I made it with Eve, a lovely lass
Back farther and farther, I wanna see more
I wanna bring back a Tyrannosaur
Time, time take me away
Take me way back like Lester del Rey
If you’re going my way
I go it alone
One second I’m here
The next one I’m gone
I set the controls for 2110
I wanna see who’s gonna rule then
There’s not much here that I can see
A cold red mist is surrounding me
Looks like time for starting over
I think we got hit by a supernova
So I set the controls for 1910
I’m gonna see my baby again
