Smashing Beauty; Thomas Shannon
Thomas Shannon
1947 -
United States
"World communications fill my head
power stations while I lie in bed
space cities in the world above
often times astonishing love
often times are rotten
the most advanced soon dead, forgotten
Daydreams vividly foretell
smashing beauty; storms in hell
(it's a very technical world)
Big brains in tight sweaters
broken hearts in simple letters
he was such a curious man
until he got the dollars in his hand
every word soon redefined
a new standard, a new time
A world shakes, lovers hate
population stands around a broken plate
a mammoth computer has begun
to pump my braincells with fun
opportunity blows down the door
good fortune, fame, and more
a huge load of cash arrives
rockets in my heart collide
World communications fill my head
power stations while I lie in bed
space cities in the sea above
often times astonishing love
often times are rotten
the most advanced soon dead, forgotten
Day dreams vividly foretell
smashing beauty, storms in hell
space cities, worlds above
often times astonishing love.
Lyrics and vocal by Thomas Shannon
Music by Gordon/Shannon"
