It's been a long time since I watched from the stars All the way down, as I travelled in time Full speed ahead as I passed over Mars I saw the Earth and I knew it was time Space map appeared on the video screen The rising sun illuminates the scene Crossing the sky, flying outta sight Faster than light That is how it all began Life form detector is perfectly still My computers they're all memorising Countdown has ceased, power level is nil The light is green for immediate landing I have touched down, without any sound No life around That is how it all began Galactica Now the time is right for change I was designed in a robotic way I am programmed to help the human race I speak your language and I've come today To solve the problems you've now got to face You used to crawl You had lost your soul Poor manking, now the time is right for change Galactica Now you've got to play the game Message to you From the robotic race Hear the rockets Preach our case Galactica Now the time is right for change Galactica

3.	On the road again 06:34	lyrics	buy track
Well I'm so tired of cryin' I'm out on the road again, I'm on the road again. Well I'm so tired of cryin' I'm out on the road again, I'm on the road again. I ain't got no woman just to call my special friend. You know the first time I traveled Out in the rain and snow, In the rain and snow. You know the first time I traveled Out in the rain and snow, In the rain and snow. I didn't have no fare, oh, not even no place to go. And my dear mother left me, When I was quite young, When I was quite young. And my dear mother left me, When I was quite young, When I was quite young. She said: "Lord have mercy on my wicked son" Take a tip from me, mama, Please, don't you cry no more, Don't you cry no more. Take a tip from me, mama, Please, don't you cry no more, Don't you cry no more 'Cause it's soon one mornin' down the road I'm goin'. But I ain't goin' down That long old lonesome road All by myself. But I ain't goin' down That long old lonesome road All by myself. I can't carry you baby gonna carry somebody else.

The times are changing fast Now this is a new generation Our children are the start Of the new electronic nation And you'd be such a fool compete with their superbrains It's a new coming race Teenagers' life became so easy Hope they won't fail the test 'Cause machine games can drive you crazy And you'd be such a fool to believe it was all in vain The future game It's in the air, nothing to spare, play it if you dare The future game Never the same, try it again, again and again The future game You've gotta choose, nothing to lose, it will never end The future game Space attack, laser fight Endlessly self-regenerating Video games, alright! New programs for the people waiting Nobody doubt that space invader's a great big success Future game... Future game Future game, Future game - Superbrains Future game In the air
