Momus - Walter Carlos lyrics

Walter Carlos no longer exists
He's in Elysium but let us imagine him
In our space-time continuum

Walter Carlos
International transsexual composer of
That glorious epoch
The high analogue synthesizer baroque

He is now to be known as Wendy, he
Had a gender operation done
Just after making 'Switched on Bach
Volume 1'

And when traveling through time is possible
Wendy can enter a wormhole
And go back to the future to marry Walter
A few baroque summers earlier
A couple of models of Moog back in time

(Wouldn't that be fine in the summertime
Tra la la la la)

Unfortunately einstein informs us
That when time travel is finally possible
There will be no returning to
Periods previous to the
Point at which time travel
First became possible

So like Walter Carlos until such
Time as it's feasible
We'll have to restrict time travel to
The realm of the musical
