[Lyric] The Dream That Fell to Earth (Ten)

Invaders from mars
Weird fantastic beings of a super-intelligence
Ruling a race of synthetic humans
And pitting them against mankind’s dream to conquer the universe

I can't let her go, I don't need to know where she's from
Of the blinding stars in space and time, there isn't one that shines like her
She came from the storm, she landed a torn, weathered bomb
But tonight against the odds I find I hold the dream that fell to earth, I can't let her go

9:15 P.M., I'm driving home again
You see I'm alone
Just around the bend the storm was moving in
I'm 3 miles from home
Rain was crashing down, then lights behind the clouds
The sky cracked and warped
Can't remember when the thunder struck again
But lightning had forked

I shut off the engine, stalled
I saw the spacecraft, I watched it fall
I saw it crash-land; I watched her crawl from the flames
I can't let her go, I don't need to know where she's from
Of the blinding stars in space and time, there isn't one that shines like her
She came from the storm, she landed a torn, weathered bomb
But tonight against the odds I find I hold the dream that fell to earth, I can't let her go

Gazing in despair, at twisted metal, flares and bright burning rock
Found her lying there, so helpless, cold and scared, alive but in shock
Carried her away to safety and escaped, the truth we exscind
She destroyed her ship, the evidence of which was blown to the wind

I shut off the engine, stalled
I saw the spacecraft, I watched it fall
I saw it crash-land; I watched her crawl from the flames

I can't let her go, I don't need to know where she's from
Of the blinding stars in space and time, there isn't one that shines like her
She came from the storm, she landed a torn, weathered bomb
But tonight against the odds I find I hold the dream that fell to earth, I can't let her go

Here on the thirteenth moon of the planet Saturn
Are atomic forces that control the tides of all earthly desire

-solo-

I shut off the engine, stalled
I saw the spacecraft, I watched it fall
I saw it crash-land; I watched her crawl from the flames
I can't let her go, I don't need to know where she's from
Of the blinding stars in space and time, there isn't one that shines like her
She came from the storm, she landed a torn, weathered bomb
But tonight against the odds I find I hold the dream that fell to earth, I can't let her go

You'll share man's greatest thrill
As you rocket through space to the lost moon city of alluring ferocious cat-women
Theirs is the fevered fury of life without love
Goading them to lure men into the den of bloodthirsty moon monsters
Driving them to tempt men in the deadly cave of moon gold
Flaming into a wild lust to conquer man
And destroy the world

I can't let her go, I don't need to know where she's from
Of the blinding stars in space and time, there isn't one that shines like her
She came from the storm, she landed a torn, weathered bomb
But tonight against the odds I find I hold the dream that fell to earth, I can't let her go

Once a normal voluptuously beautiful woman
With incredible desires for love and vengeance
