Ufology Ufology Am I studying the Funk or is it studying me? Unidentified Funk Object Get up and dance Follow me down To my spaceship To the dancefloor Gettin it on With a species That you don't know You're on a trip to the funkiest depths of space Letting the groove lay its eggs inside your face Unidentified Funk Object Get up and dance All of your friends Think you're crazy When you tell them Government men Gonna put you In detention You don't belong on this planet anymore The planet Funkticon Prime is where you got to go Now dance around like a scientist Unidentified Funk Object Get up and dance Ufology Ufology Am I studying the Funk or is it studying me?

You know what I mean Now don't cause a scene Once you start a gleam For you boy, I want everything The sun and the moon and the stars Will only take you so far Want our bodies to interact Go ride on an intergalactic Cadillac We can put down the top and we don't have to stop Til we ride out of sight, we can go all night We don't have to fight, and rightly so Let the Universe tell us what we need to know Love baby is a magical ride And we take it together UFO gonna treat you right Yeah no one does it better On a cosmic journey to destiny You don't have to worry, it's just you and me Love baby is a magical ride Oh yeah Love baby is a magical ride You don't have to worry cuz I'll be by your side Sit back while our worlds are colliding Subsiding, coinciding, galaxies rapidly realigning Realize how our minds can meld Reexamine the fallacious beliefs we held About the Cosmic Sound, positive funk vibrations A love that there's no world and no stipulations There's no bounds to the sounds that we make tonight Break the barrier, travel far, go faster than light UFO will lay the groove as we dance out of sight Love baby is a magical ride And we take it together UFO gonna treat you right Yeah no one does it better On a cosmic journey to destiny You don't have to worry, it's just you and me Love baby is a magical ride Oh yeah

Pi 314159265358 In the digits of Pi I see us dancing in a cornfield With flying saucers overhead In the digits of Pi I see 100,000 pulsars Laying down some funky beats Pi 314159265358 In the digits of Pi I see us landing on a planet Composed entirely of the funk In the digits of Pi I see myself trying to interpret What I see in the digits of Pi Pi 31415926535897934384646433832795028841971693993751058219749445923078164... Pi 314159265358 In the digits of Pi I see a dry and barren wasteland Where humanity is extinct In the digits of Pi I see a vast infinite cosmos Where the music never stops Pi 314159265358

Shooting stars all around Flying saucers in the sky babe UFO is coming down Gonna get you funkified babe The universe is infinite We're all caught in space and time babe The music takes you out of it Like a rocket flying high Used to trip in the void No bodies to be seen babe Not a sound, not a noise Only silence around me babe The universe is infinite We're all caught and space and time The music takes you out of it To a place that's so divine I'll be your satellite I'll be your love tonight We're gonna shine so bright As we go round the sun together I'll be your satellite I'll be your love tonight We gonna shine so bright I'm in your gravity forever I'll be your satellite When you love the alien You know you never can go back babe To what you were and where you been Before that cosmic funk attack babe The universe is infinite We're all caught in space and time babe The music takes you out of it Baby let me tell you why I'll be your satellite I'll be your love tonight We're gonna shine so bright As we go round the sun together I'll be your satellite I'll be your love tonight We gonna shine so bright I'm in your gravity forever I'll be your satellite You feel that cosmic funk is all around you You feel so high like nothing's gonna ground you Just like that funky UFO has found you It's found you now I'll be your satellite I'll be your love tonight We're gonna shine so bright As we go round the sun together I'll be your satellite I'll be your love tonight We gonna shine so bright I'm in your gravity forever I'll be your satellite

RoboFunk 04:09
lyrics

U gotta walk like a robot, talk like a robot If U wanna do the Robofunk U gotta move like a robot, groove like a robot If U wanna do the Robofunk Do androids dream of electric sheep? Or do they rock the party out in2 the street? Cuz I'm straight outta Cybertron with a rockin' beat And I bring more death to humans than a Cylon fleet Cause I'm the baddest R that U ever saw I broke the 1st Law when I levelled my rhymes at y'all And now I'm lookin' on as U come to harm Breakin' the 2nd Law, the 3rd Law, and so on And all U other robot MCs are eatin' my dust Cause my rhymes'll fry Ur circuits like an EM pulse I can calculate π to a thousand digits But I'd rather be with Ur fembot configuring each other's widgets And with your infrared vision you're seeing me and MC-01 We gettin' it done, we travellin' through space, We bad, just like IG-88 So what's Ur problem then? U're all, "Danger, Will Robinson!" 10101010110101010110101010101101010 1011010101011010100001010011100101110 001101 1000 001110 1011 101101110 100110001 0000101001110010111011110001001 They call me R-H-Y-M-E-O-Tron So all U other MCs shape up or get gone I do 5000 rhymes per second over a standard groove And I'm specially programmed 2 make your body move Don't U know what I am? I'm a metal man I'm like Commander Data's evil brother cuz I'm bad and I don't give a damn While my band will jam, tell U my plan, listen The last stand of man is close at hand We'll hook computers up to Ur mind, make U think it's '99 That's how we'll keep U in line While all the time, we draining Ur bioenergy U're a battery powering a non-stop robot party And when U realize the size of the crime, U're terrified U'd rather stay inside than make a stand and die So now my rhymes have explained to U y All U meatbags can kiss my metal ass goodbye

Do You Trust The Universe? 05:17
lyrics
buy track
At the party You're inducing your inebriation Someone offers more You take all you can get In the corner stands A man of your imagination Tells you something you can't forget He says: Let me ask you Cuz I think I know how you're feeling Things are bad But you know they could be worse Answer honestly And then you can begin your healing Do you trust the Universe? Is it a blessing or is it a curse? Do you trust the Universe? Is it better or could it be worse? Do you trust the Universe? So you tell him You believe in philanthropy But you're uncertain Karma Evens out the score Once he's satisfied Dissecting your philosophy Tells you darling there's so much more And he says: The installation of an interplanetary creative flow Can do so much more than a little change in your purse Imagination Is the seed from which new life will grow When you trust the Universe Is it a blessing or is it a curse? Do you trust the Universe? Is it better or could it be worse? Do you trust the Universe? Inspiration Innovation Your salvation A commotion Of emotion At the notion Is it a blessing or is it a curse? Do you trust the Universe? Is it better or could it be worse? Do you trust the Universe?
