RIDE THE DRAGON TOWARD THE CRIMSON EYE
FLAP THE WINGS UNDER MARS RED SKY
THE REPTILE PUSHES ITSELF OUT INTO SPACE
LEAVING BEHIND THE HUMAN RACE

SWIM INSIDE THE SOLAR SEAS
THE NEBULA CRIES OUT TO ME
PASSING WHERE I'VE NEVER GONE BEFORE
I FLY THROUGH THE CRIMSON DOOR

RIDE THE DRAGON TOWARD THE CRIMSON EYE
FLAP THE WINGS UNDER MARS RED SKY

IGNORE DISCRETE MOLECULES, ENTHALPY, AND ENTROPY RESPECTIVELY

THERE NEVER REALLY IS A GOOD TIME
THERE'S ALWAYS NOTHING MUCH TO SAY
PRETTY GOOD, NOT DOING THAT FINE
GETTING UP MOST EVERY DAY

SEND THE MOON THRU THE SKYLIGHT
BELLS TOGETHER OUTRAGEOUSLY
NOISEBALL, FLIRTATIOUS EXAMPLE
BLESS HER SOUL TO FURTHER DEGREE

THEATRE GODDESS, FILM DESTROYER
NEW YORK GIRLS ARE SURE TO ENJOY HER
FUZZY PEACH, TEENAGE COMPUTER
A SHOCKING FIGURE IN THE EYE OF THE UNIVERSE

I AM DEAD BY THE BEAUTY OF STRANGERS
IN HORROR MY EYE-HEAD TRANSFORMS THEM
INTO SMILING, BEATIFIC ROOM MATES
FROM DUST TO DUST THEY CREATE ROCK N ROLL

HERE COMES SOMETHING: YOU ARE LOU REED
TRANSFORMER CRACKED BY THE BACKYARD STREAM
KILLER TUNES, BUBBLEGUM DISASTER
RADICAL ADULTS LICK GODHEAD STYLE

American planes, full of holes and wounded men and corpeses took off backwards from an airfield in England. Over France, a few German fighter planes flew at them backwards, sucked bullets and shell fragments from some of the planes and crewmen. They did the same for wrecked American bombers on the ground, and those planes flew up backwards to joine the formation.

The formation flew backwards over a German city that was in flames. The bombers opened their bomb bay doors, exerted a miraculous magnetism which shrunk the fires, gathered them into cylindrical steel containers, and lifted the containers into the bellies of the planes. The containers were stored neatly in racks. The Germans below had miraculous devices of their own, which were long steel tubes. They used them to suck more fragments from the crewmen and planes. But there were still a few wounded Americans, though, and some of the bombers were in bad repair. Over France, though, German fighters came up again, made everything and everybody as good as new.

When the bombers got back to their base, the steel cylinders were taken from the racks and shipped back to the United States of America, where factories were operating night and day, dismantling the cylinders, separating the dangerous contents into minerals. Touchingly, it was mainly women who did this work. The minerals were then shipped to specialists in remote areas. It was their business to put them into the ground, to hide them cleverly, so they would never hurt anybody ever again.
