Inside The Dome (Prev. Unreleased Demo)

from Aquatorium (Demos and Rare Tracks) (Remastered) by Elegant Simplicity

/

about

Another one shelved during ‘The 'Nature of Change’ sessions. This is a great track, but the vocals were never finished. The vocal takes featured here were simply a quick run through to hear how they would hang with the backing track.

Unfortunately, we never had the time to re-record them. Great solo at the end. Apart from all that, of course, there would not have been any room on the CD for it!

Recorded October 1995.

lyrics

It’s 2020 and I’m inside the dome
The air is getting thin and my supplies are getting low

How much longer can I hold onto life
When those that control it increase the cost
How much longer can I live inside the dome
When the dome itself is dying

Outside it’s dark
Not a pin prick of light
There is no air, no sea, no life

What’s left is now up for sale
When your credit runs dry, you die

How much longer can I live inside the dome
How much longer can I live under glass

The delivery man didn’t show up today
I’m choking in the street
Writhing on the ground

The taps are all on full
And I’ve fallen to my feet
The vultures are outside
They know I’m easy meat

I haven’t got long to live
Here inside this dome
Fear overtakes me as the minutes quickly go

I never thought we’d come to this
Fighting over air
Living out of bottles
Where the lion gets our share

In the dome you can’t see out
There is no hope for me
In the dome you can’t see out
There is no hope for us

I’ve read of the days
Of mountains sea and air
I’ve seen pictures of daylight and trees

They pass through my mind
As I pass my last breath
They pass through my mind as I fall to my knees

The last thing I see
Is the plastic side walk
The last thing I see is me
