Enjoy it!

Flew off early in the haze of dawn
in a metal dragon locked in time,
skimming waves of an underground sea
in some kind of a dream world fantasy

Sun a hot circle on a canopy,
'25 a racing blot on a bright green sea
Ahead the dim blur of an alien land,
time to give ourselves to strange gods' hands

Dark flak spiders bursting in the sky,
reaching twisted claws on every side
No place to run,
no place to hide,
no turning back on a suicide ride

Toy city streets crawling through my sights,
sprouting clumps of mushrooms like a world surreal
This dream won't ever seem to end,
and time seems like it'll never begin
30 seconds,
and a one way ride
30 seconds,
and no place to hide
30 seconds over Tokyo

  • @robin195959 Was Pere Ubu not a successor band to RFTT, with several members in common (including Thomas and Laughner, writers of "30 Seconds Over Tokyo")?

  • Been listening to this one since '77 myself,one of the best insistent guitar riffs ever!

  • love it.

  • @bakersakter thanks for your valuable education lesson. you tube would be very boring without the occasiaonl irrelevant nonsense being posted and your a star in this field.

  • art rock? just sounds like an intellectualised version of Sabbbath

  • Plenty of acid rain on this page. Must give them a sense of relevance and importance.

  • Fucking fantastic record.

    Thanks for uploading this. Decades since I've heard it.

    Nice to see the band is still performing it too.
