my time machine's got that brilliant ai
say what i want and then i watch it go by
most of the time we go assassinate fascists
don't read the files if the database matches
no i don't read the files if the database matches
my time machine gets bored of the death
asked if i partied passed me a spliff
when so inclined indeed party adieu
and so we hit cordoba in 772
my time machine's all like wait til you meet him
abu i-hasan ali ibn nafi
ziryab the blackbird of andalusia
my time machine smokes a good sensimilla
my time machine drops us in on a concert
packed palace lawn they're drawn under a sunset
dude on the oud is like hendrix and mozart
lofty and lewd and in control where the notes are
my time machine's got them all-access passes
back in the green room sippin vino from glasses
crystal and salads at the dawn of refinement
ziryab's table sets to elevate dining
my time machine is a master at chess
in old cordoba they say that ziryab's best
i know the moves but i don't got the passion
i watch ziryab lose in an elegant fashion
my time machine is great at translation
me and my host shared a deep conversation
generous humorous and incredibly smart
he was a polymath scholar of science and art
my time machine wants to call it a night
abu i-hasan says it's probably right
star and a crescent on the petals of dawn
let's go kill isabella fourteen ninety and one
let's go!
my time machine got brilliant ai
i say what i want and then watch it go by
most of the time we go assassinate fascists
don't read the files if the database matches
i don't read the files
