Lyrics (unofficial)

When all the world was cooling off
Terradon jets cruise saurian skies
Beyond the blue horizon
The rising moon

Saw you in the courtyard sit there
Amongst the iron neon flowers
Restless in summer stupor
Not yet come unto your powers

The fountains dead and cracked and dried up
Stagnant pools lie at your feet
The weeds cluster must have been a shock
Penetrating solid rock

I saw you in your office talking
Looking at the charts and meters
Talking with the lotus eaters
Talking with that old saltpeter

When all the world was cooling off
Terradon jets cruise saurian skies
Beyond the blue horizon
The rising moon

Saw you in the courtyard sit there
Amongst the iron neon flowers
Restless in summer stupor
Not yet come unto your powers
