The Android's Song -
An Antony Wells ThoughtPlay
EXT - OUTTER SPACE
We are focused on the earth. Alone in the cold embrace of space.
A WOMAN'S VOICE
:Does it remind you?
We pan right, a star shoots past.
We pan back round to earth. Completely still.
NARRATOR(OLD MAN)
:There she sits.
We pan forward slightly, to reveal a cloud of satalities and other human debris'
A WOMAN'S VOICE
Of all time frozen, of all love broken?
MAN'S VOICE
Stop it.
We pan in towards the clouds and stop. A giant boeing 747 shoots past us.
NARRATOR
God damn the things that invade her sky.
We pan to the right to watch the plane soar off. almost majestically. but not quite.
A WOMAN'S VOICE
Does the light dance on your soul?
MAN
You'll never know.
We pan back down. reaching the top of skyscrapers over new york.
NARRATOR
God damn these structures.
BEAT
A WOMAN'S VOICE
And so we dance....do we?
A MAN'S VOICE
Dancing until the sun expires. I question why though...
A WOMAN'S VOICE
Isn't it obvious?
We pan down some more. to street level. Dealers sell drugs on the corner. A police car sits and watches. doing nothing.
A MAN'S VOICE
Do you remember that night?
A WOMAN'S VOICE
I've heard of it.
A MAN'S VOICE
You always were funny.
A WOMAN'S VOICE
Was I?
We pan right to reveal a man walking down the street. cool. in a trenchcoat.
A MAN'S VOICE
*beat* Always were....
A WOMAN'S VOICE
So tender the fabric of our soul....how are you doing?
A MAN'S VOICE
I'm lost in a sandstorm. Yourself?
A WOMAN'S VOICE
I'm lost too. Would tell you where, but then I wouldn't be lost.

The Silver People
V1)
Like golden dust, in the morning air, like silver rain, that falls into your stare,
And i choose to believe, in nothing but you, i do not care, what is wrong or true,
I just to believe in you, i don't care if the sky is green or blue,
I just care about you, i don't care if there is a god or not, if there ever was, trust me i forgot.
V2)
And my heart beats still, for all the things i am and all the things i feel,
Yet without you the picture is fuzzy and dirty, no corners just burnt edges,
And my soul cries alone in the darkness of life, without you, without air.
And like a thunderstorm that never ends, my soul has no will or desire to pretend,
That life is anything without you, that life could ever be okay, rather than simply fade away.
C)
As I live, so do you. As I dream, so do you. As I die, so you do.
As we spin on this crazy rock, looking for meaning, i feel like i'm stuck.
In a cage, without you to soothe my rage, trapped like words on a page.
And my soul is alone, like a forgotten stone, like a empty home.
V3)
I would beg to god for you to be, but he doesn't hear me.
I would destroy the universe, to save you. but i dont need to.
You'll be fine. endless like the stars that shine. like the flow of time.
For the good never die, they just fly, into worlds beyond.
And I'll remain here singing your song, wishing it was to you i belong.
But i do not, i am just another shadow, just another empty sorrow,
Crying and dying, always trying, but always failing, always fallin.
And without you by my side, is it anywonder i have no where to hide.
Like golden dust, in the morning air, like silver rain, that falls into your stare,
And i choose to believe, in nothing but you, i do not care, what is wrong or true,
I just to believe in you, i don't care if the sky is green or blue,
I just care about you, i don't care if there is a god or not, if there ever was, trust me i forgot.

City Aybss
V1)
The floors, connected to the doors, lined with walls, held up by fools,
The lights, jangling in the breeze, if god asked for this, he never said please
As time and all it's friends, lay ambush on the huamn race, we don't know where to run,
We drop one by one, like numbers from a chart, no connection to the world anymore, no human heart
And as the weather settles in for another cold harsh winter, what can the human mind do but splinter,
C)
The city abyss, we are passengers of, enslaved to, lost to, gone to.
A Concrete Jungle, and we're swinging from the building tops,
A dream burnt in the dust, fading away like the way things must,
A candle with no wax left, a starlight without any hope of time.
A gentle vaccume we wander through, only it's not so gentle,
more the product of a mind gone mental, more the design of a over drugged cattle,
Verse 2)
If god knocked on my door, I'd turn him away, leave him wonderin who the hell i was.
For I know his name, and his name is death. To create life, just to take it away.
Is that the act of divine beauty? Or a sickness of total brutal cruelty.
You think he loves you? Tell me that again on your deathbed. if you can.
This life is tragic, we all believe in magic, yet there is none, and never was.
C)
A marble rolls down the hall, hitting walls and bouncing up and down,
it reaches the dry ground of earth, and out the vaccume, out the exhaust
I see starlight no more, i see only darkness. I see sunlight no more, only a black hole.
As the universe merrily goes on, happy to be it's evil self. absolute power corrupted completly.
How many more people have to die, before god wakes up and see his sky.
The floors, connected to the doors, lined with walls, held up by fools,
The lights, jangling in the breeze, if god asked for this, he never said please

They
V1)
The chariots of time, charging onward, like a clap of lightning, surging down,
And when we reach there, get off the train without paying a fair, time can be anything we see,
And as music plays, the fine people stay, the lost are found and the gone return, to a scene of liberty,
The phantom voices disappear, gone with the human fear, of our consumption, of our analihiliation,
And no man dare tread on our soil, no man dare grab our dreams, for we are the true kings,
Verse 2)
A melody of sight and sound, we are all starbound, we were all lost, but now we are found,
In a blitz of love, like a shot of life, we find the promise, we never need to miss,
And like a butterfly in the wind, we struggled, like a flower in a storm, we were torn,
We walked on the fires of denial, we chose each other not style, in a substanceless existence,
You are pure light, yet you are dim, like god's victim, for this i do not know why or understand for what,
But we walk tall, maybe not as cool, but certainly full, of the wonder of the universe, the undying, the ever trying.
C)
Life is ours, like the stars are not, like everything we remember have not forgot.
The rain that falls, tomorrow that calls, our beauty never stalls, in a world of fools,
I see the future, I see it man. I see it today, in a dream I never stop dreaming, in a being i never stop being.
I don't know all the answers, but i see all the problems, in a world full of archaic drip fed systems,
And the music doesn't shatter the illusion, that we are anything but captives of a prision,
V3)
Your power, like your hunger, is your weight, your baggage, your ball and chain,
I don't feel your pain, I don't feel your apathy. I don't feel your lust. I don't feel your must.
I see the beauty in life, and the wonder to all of the wonders left wondering, what they're living for.
As you waste every second of every one's life, you might as well be killing them with a knife,
You suffocate their minds, leave them wandering blind, wandering why they're even alive,
They don't know why they want to survive, they walk amoung the dead of a living hive,
Soldiers without a cause, dreamers without a dream, liars without a scheme.
C)
And this system won't own me, won't define me, won't shape me.
I am more than I was ever before, and I continue to fly like an eagle in the soaring skies.
And so my dreams shall touch this world, so my soul shall embrace this life.
And I will free man of tryanny, I shall introduce them to liberty, a freedom of body and mind.
Something no one has ever known, for you see their futures were already blown, all along.
B)
They make everything bad, just so they can act sad. They make everything wrong, just so they can seem right.
They make you feel unhappy, just so they can be happy. They rob you of everything, just so they can have something.
They destroy your future, just so they can continue. They give you nothing in return. They fucking hate you. Trust.

Verse 1)
I will wait, until the heavens are dry, until the stars that blazed are dim and invisble
I will dream, until time comes to an end, until you're the last person alive my friend
I will believe, until life is over, until our souls chase the stars together,
I will never, let you go, or let the darkness in, i will stay like a sun, shining,
Verse 2)
Life is purpose, and purpose is meaning, in a world that can be so short of both
Yet in the cosmic maze, in the firey blaze, there are pockets of existence,
Where love runs free and the birds sing in the trees, and the rain never falls, and the sky never dies
And music plays like an endless serenade, with wit so fine it is as sharp as a blade,
And you are the centre of the best example, for all my dreams and all my soul i am not able
To breach your heart, and leave a mark, i just wander by, a stranger in the dark,
Chorus)
As it rains, it rains for you, not me, as rainbows shoot overhead, they follow the dreams in your head,
I stand by waiting for a miracle, that you'll realize together we'd be invicncible
As gods fall to their knees and fade away, there'd we stand, the whole future in our hand,
But dreams are for dreaming, not livinjg, they so seldom come to be, they litter the graveyard of history
As time takes me piece by piece, as I burn away, nothing will change, for us to be, for the world to be less strange
Verse 3)
And as you walk further away, into the history books, no second looks, no last talks,
I just sit by the fire, filled full of desire, to speak, to dream, to be, to live, to give, with you
As the daydream turns to nightmare, my soul will always wonder where
where you are, what you're doijng and why you're not doiing it with me,
but i guess i'll always be free, free of knowing your love, free of being your dream,
I will wait, until the heavens are dry, until the stars that blazed are dim and invisble
I will dream, until time comes to an end, until you're the last person alive my friend
I will believe, until life is over, until our souls chase the stars together,
I will never, let you go, or let the darkness in, i will stay like a sun, shining,

Verse 1)
A ember, still in the air. A soft particle, caught in the headlight. A dream. Lost on the road.
It comes, but it never stops. It falls, but it never leaves. Like a whisper. A dreamer's sight.
Reality the cruelty. Half the world, power mad and lustful for the blood of their neighbours.
The other half, too simple to care. Well, my darling friends, I shall change the way time ends.
Call me the changer, because I'm going to change this world, I will free the enslaved, embigen the brave
And leave those who would destroy everything, with nothing. nothing but their apathy and hate.
Verse 2)
They play the victim, as they sit on their thrones of gold. Eating whatever animal they fancy, killing whatever
they don't.
Will i will not let you change me. I see through you rethroic straight to the heart of your politik.
You are the virus that consumes this existence. You are the darkness to which i am unstoppable resistence.
You killed god, but you won't kill me. You killed JFK, but you won't touch me.
Try it, and watch the curtains fall around you. Watch the stars ignite with the fury of a dying god.
Chorus)
The cities you build, to keep us in prision away from the land, the gold you toss, so we dare not touch your hand,
It's never going to satisfy me, never going to stop me, from making this earth better for everything and everyone.
I am going to show people the sun, the stars and all their wonder, I shall make everyone's life a wonderful adventure.
You'd keep them in cells bored rotten, forogtten, wishing they were begotten. not me my lovely, not me my darling. I shall let them live. in a world of happy dreams. without your dirty rotten schemes.
Consider me your end.
Verse 3)
As they walk in the maze you built, looking for the cheese you hide, without guardians to confide,
Where were you...when the world fell to pieces...where were you...when they all died one by one...
Where were you then....
A ember, still in the air. A soft particle, caught in the headlight. A dream. Lost on the road.
It comes, but it never stops. It falls, but it never leaves. Like a whisper. A dreamer's sight.
Reality the cruelty. Half the world, power mad and lustful for the blood of their neighbours.
The other half, too simple to care. Well, my darling friends, I shall change the way time ends.

Quantum Light
Verse 1)
Universe of division, mirrors of indicision, life is not a mission, yet we're given a reason
To fly, when we should fall, to cry when we should call, as we play the clown's fool,
And time the conqueror, will conquer you, will conquer me, leave us history,
and like light from the sun, one day there will be none, like everything all gone,
And there will lay a universe of dark, not a single beating heart, what would have teared us apart,
I do not know, i can not see tomorrow, I am only here to beg steal and borrow,
Verse 2)
What are the wings of a dream? What keep it alive, more than the will to survive?
We think in circles, as the dirty milk curdles, coffee burning, cakes cooking,
All to distract us from the obvious, one day there will be none of us,
And all the might of jupitar can not save us, all the love of god, can not penetrate,
We are stood at joseph's gate, waiting for the bell to ring, waiting for the dark to bring,
Chorus)
Quantum light around, from the heavens, from beneath the ground, it frames the picture,
What the hell are we, i think we'll never truely know. for the ant can not see the man,
just like man can not see his master, if he is at all, all we can do is walk till we fall,
And pray someone or something will catch us, save us from the darkness, from the end,
Yet our preyers are childish, nothing listens, no one cares, we live in a universe of endings, not beginings.
Verse 3)
As the purpose of man becomes less and less clear, as we sink into another mug of beer,
Like victims of our own ignorance, too stupid to see, too dumb to care, too simple to know.
I will never play the victim, i am not the man to stop dreaming first, for within me there is an endless thirst,
For more than this universe has to offer, i will journey forever, on the wings of a dream,
Universe of division, mirrors of indicision, life is not a mission, yet we're given a reason
To fly, when we should fall, to cry when we should call, as we play the clown's fool,
And time the conqueror, will conquer you, will conquer me, leave us history,
and like light from the sun, one day there will be none, like everything all gone,
And there will lay a universe of dark, not a single beating heart, what would have teared us apart,
I do not know, i can not see tomorrow, I am only here to beg steal and borrow,
