Traveller's diagram 
for Where I am for what I am
Check the provisional codes
It overloads, it all explodes
And hey, let's throw the great party 
today for the rest of our lives
The band is just about to get started
So throw the switch
It's rock-n-roll time

Special elixirs flow and then the onion lady blows
Kisses to the crying cooks with baited hooks
and lady looks?

And hey, let's throw the great party 
today for the rest of our lives
The band is just about to get started
So throw the switch
It's rock-n-roll time

You must be willing just to ride along with me
You must be happy just to do the job for free
Yours for the taking if you follow simple rules
Such acts of subservience were never taught in schools

Spit me out from your cosmos
Draft me into your troops
Set me up for the knockdown
You can watch
And I'll be back when it's over

I'm much greater than you think
I'm swimmer in the drink
I'm much greedier than you think
I'm slammer in the drink

And oh, mesh gear fox
Put out another bag of tricks from scientific box
Time's wasting and you're not gonna live forever
And if you do
I'll come back and marry you
No use changin' now
You couldn't anyhow and ever (forever?)

It's not the way that I fear that I feel
It's the way you act
It's the way you look when you're near me
It's not so hard to conceal to concede? (conceal?)
It's the things you say
It's the things you do go right through me
