As we lie on this bed of roses
We can see it rise in the distance
A tall and beautiful tower
Vladimir Tatlin meant to be the 7th wonder
The 7th wonder of the world
So here lie 10,000 roses
In rotten petrol fumes
The cruel, cruel tower of Timur
Every inch of human flesh into the 7th wonder
The 7th wonder of the worldNot long ago I went through the gate of dreams
I came to the famous City of Destruction
Where now a shuttle runs to the Emerald City
With air miles and big group reductions
So I went to the ticket office where Evangelist sat
And reserved seats through credit card calls
I said ' How does it feel now they changed your job?'

I expected to be plunged into the darkness
But the company had floodlit the underground gloom
Taken care not to make this place seem joyless
All aboard, all aboard the Celestial Shuttle
For a journey free of care, for a journey free of trouble
All aboard, all aboard the Celestial Shuttle
For all those with the money, just tender up the fare
Just tender up the fare
It looked like we stopped at the mouth of Hell itself
But they said it was a now-extinct volcano
And if you'd seen the demons seemed to emanate from there
You'd have taken t
