Psychedelic revolution lyrics (Roswell)

Hello,
Does the booklet included in the psychedelic revolution cd include lyrics? Namely Roswell,I am keen to understand this song but much of the lines in the middle sound like some ancient and indecipherable language to me. The mp3 versions on amazon seemed like a convenient bargain but I will buy the discs if someone can confirm lyrics are included.
Similarly, if anyone wants to discuss the lyrics and meaning of Roswell, I would love it.

No lyrics, dude. I can't understand either, but english is not my main language. The only thing about the song written on the booklet is "discusses the chiling possibilities of unlawful alien autopsy as practised by Werner Von Braun, the Nazi architect of the London Blitz." And that's it.

Thanks Carlos!
Here's what I have so far, maybe we can pitch in to figure it out?
Lines starting with ??? mean wild guesses
... means I cannot even guess
In any other time it wouldn't be
But this is not any other time
??? Burned out thought and boned-out too
??? ... of an island
Way past your bedtime
The machinery starts again
Way past your bedtime
They know not why or when
Then down in the rain they fall
The leaves then start to respire
But now love it could be dark
??? ... my end
Way past your bedtime
The machinery starts again
Way past your bedtime
They know know not how or when
Soon, your lover recoils ??? in the sheets ???
To never recover
How, now, will it heal?
An alien sound ??? on a hardway ???
In a halfway house ??? not jail ???
Bent to the ... it descends
??? A life changed ???
Into your ??? spot light ???
... Each one went in line
... for the Northern Lights
??? One time more ... ???
... Alien lover
Recoils at what he sees
??? Afraid ??? He runs for cover
And will never know ??? more peace ???
??? Howl into ... ???
I give up here...

Anyone?? I am still slaving over trying to decode what appear to be excellent lyrics but some of them are just so mushy... I can parse this song in a number of ways, and perhaps that is best, but I would really like to know what the drood is saying.

Try contacting HH here. You never know some kind soul may be able to help. It's at least worth a shot:

I have mailed Head Heritage and sadly no reply.
So I should probably stop flogging a dead horse, but if any newcomers have arrived since I last posted, I would love some clues as the lyrics of this intriguingly beautiful song!
thanks...

2 years later... still love this beguiling song but have no further clues as to what is being said. If there were a uni course in Copology, I'd be the first in line!
HH, maybe consider publishing a tome of illuminated lyrics? I'd happily pre-order.

Just bumping this - it is a theme for me and Cope in general - the words I catch are some of the best I have ever encountered but dang I just can't get them all. I know nothing worthwhile is easy but I am definitely the target audience for a finely-bound tome of Cope's lyrics with footnotes longer than the passages themselves. Like imagine the COPENDIUM going into JC's own work. Take my money, please!
