Bolan's Zip Gun (Theme from a Dragon) Lyrics

Deep beneath an ancient shadow
Stunned with age and too much wisdom
Reclining in glass with eyes too steep
Relentless dimensions of quadraphonic sleep
Dwelt the wild grinding cyclopean pagan
Screaming destruction in sheer dazzling raiment
A thunderbolt master a 'lectronic' saviour
A gold galactic raver the Futuristic Dragon
Yes...
And I do mean Yes
Aaaargh!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The lyrics shown are to a different song, This was released as an instrumental after originally having lyrics and being dropped from the Zip Gun album. It is a nice chunky riffy instrumental (the only one recorded as T.Rex) with what sounds like the screaming of Marc's fans in the background, could be from any 1972 T.Rex concert, or is it the screaming of those terrified souls being chased by the Futuristic Dragon? Damned if I know.
