Big Generator Lyrics by Yes

The Studio Albums 1969-1987

1987

[Verse 1]
Such a strange pre-occupation
Such a strange, peculiar breed
How it's shining in its armour
Made of gold and made of steel
It can strike a chord inside you
Like a generation's need
Speaking happy words of promise

[Chorus]
Big generator
Lives out of sight
Big generator
Hands upon the wheel
Moving to the left (movin')
Moving to the right
Big generator
Moving through the night

[Bridge]
Second nature sacrifice
Even if you close your eyes
We exist through this strange disguise

[Verse 2]
I have heard it said to someone
Or maybe it was me
There is a reason to experience
Psychedelic so we could see
To be growing up before us
Like the black and white of love
Be the focus, be the chorus

[Chorus]
Big generator
Hands upon the wheel
Big generator
In for the kill

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Second nature comes alive
Even if you close your eyes
We exist through this strange device

[Chorus]
Moving to the left
Moving to the right
Big generator
Moving through the night
We are the voices of the big generator
Moving through the night
Movin'

[Bridge]
Flying out the soft machine, we offer
All surprise to you
Praise, oh, praise this anthem generator

[Outro]
Moving through the night
Movin'
We are the voice of every
