Thought I was a spaceman Digging out my heart In some distant sand dunes in a car park 'Cos the desert had encroached upon The places where we lived People like me fight to keep the demons in But we never succeeded We never succeeded in fact we failed Thought I was a spaceman Digging out my heart In some distant sand dunes in a car park By the empty harbour With the junk boats phantom float The fight for happy valley Sadly the line broke Thought I found my black box Washed up on the shore On outlying islands Past the land fall Thought I thought I'd found it That was not true at all I'd walked into a bar raised hell Cut the chasm out me Always and always the same Put the ghost in writing And let it be you again Thought I was a spaceman Digging out my heart In some distant sand dune In Hyde park Thought I was a spaceman Digging out my heart In some distant sand dune Here again Thought I was a spaceman Digging out my heart In some distant sand dune Here again Here again Here again
