Silver Machine Lyrics

I just took a ride in a Silver Machine
And I'm still feeling mean

Do you want to ride
See yourself going by
Other side of the sky
Well I got a silver machine

I've got a Silver Machine...

It flies
Sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your Zodiac sign

It flies out of a dream
It's antiseptically clean
You're gonna know where I've been

I've got a Silver Machine...

It's inspired by an essay by French surrealist writer Alfred Jarry called "How to Build a Time Machine", which Bob Calvert read and decided was actually a set of instructions for building a bicycle. Calvert claimed to actually have a silver bicycle.
