Attack Ships on Fire Lyrics
Time and time and time again
Tossing and turning and freezing and burning
Time and time and time again
Another bad dream and another dead end
Someone somewhere wake me up! (x4)
Time and time and time again
Same old story till the night time ends
Time and time and time again
Same dark covers and same [?]
WAKE ME UP!
Time and time and time again
Wake up screaming and wake up dead
Time and time and time again
Wake up sweating and out of my head
Someone somewhere wake me up! (x3)
Someone somewhere WAKE ME UP!
Time and time and time again
I´m waking up shaking and waking in front
Time and time and time again
Same B-movie in black and white
Someone somewhere....
Tossing and turning and freezing and burning
Time and time and time again
Another bad dream and another dead end
Same old story till the night time ends
Time and time and time again
Same dark covers and same [?]
Wake up screaming and wake up dead
Time and time and time again
Wake up sweating and out of my head
Someone somewhere WAKE ME UP!
I´m waking up shaking and waking in front
Time and time and time again
Same B-movie in black and white

OOH AH AH, OOH AH AH! XD i love that little thing in between the verses and "someone somewhere WAKE ME UP!"
The title comes from a quote in "Blade Runner" (1982). Roy, the replicant (artificial human) says "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.".
@Alieno That's like the best part of the movie. More Human Than Human by White Zombie is about Blade Runner too.

@lpr*587 More than being ABOUT Blade Runner both songs reference it. I think it's because it made a huge impact on anyone (especially children) who watched it back in the eighties. It has an eerie dystopian feel hard to match.

@lpr*587 But I didn't know about More Human than Human. Thanks for the info. :)

I agree with comment above. Love that sound! I think this song is about bad/weird/unexplainable dreams, and a good chance of them being drug induced. I really like the live version the best on You god Damn Son Of A Bitch. One of my favorite songs to listen to while I'm "out of my head". Beyond wasted and this song go together.
