Lyrics

20th Century

(Gold/Lloyd/Echolette)

In the beginning

There was no light

No teenage heaven or hell

No songs or voices came from across the outlands

Where oceans are meant to be -- where oceans are meant to be

Oh my God, I feel so alone -- some million lightyears far from home

HOW ABOUT YOU LIVING IN THE 20TH CENTURY

You can halt your car to get your tickets to the starlite skies, you know...

Ev'rybody wants to come home (what a dream)

So, if you don't mind

Will you join me?

On my way through the eye

Up to the light

Into the world...
