One Thousand Year-Old Man (There's a New World a-Comin')

The war was over several hours ago
And the future is speeding on
Aluminum people

There's a new world a-comin'
A new world a-comin'
Angel-like superior beings

Myriads of galaxies inhabited by intelligent beings
The war is gone
We're on the other side of the planet

Visions from another lifetime
The search for extraterrestrial life

Many tiny June violet flowers
Giant greens waves dancing
The paper colored sun
The world at fun
Sealed in darkness, waiting to be born

I swam through the slime and sludge of human degradation
Through the stinking, suffocating, pulsating throb of a heart
I catapulted the clear disk of intelligence into the void of heaven
Where celestial beings revealed themselves
And angels ministered unto me
In the apex of Heaven
Oh, apes on heaven's earth
You will sprout a tail if you do not bind yourself this time
(gibberish)

The war was over several hours ago
And the future is speeding on
Aluminum people

There's a new world a-comin'
A new world a-comin'
Angel-like superior beings

Myriads of galaxies inhabited by intelligent beings
The war is gone
We're on the other side of the planet

Visions from another lifetime
The search for extraterrestrial life

Many tiny June violet flowers
Giant greens waves dancing
The paper colored sun
The world at fun
Sealed in darkness, waiting to be born

A new kind of life has broke through
A new openness
A new kind of life has broke through
A new openness

There's a new world a-comin' (A new kind of life has broke through)
A new world a-comin' (A new openness)
A new world a-comin' (A new kind of life has broke through)
