Thought I was a spaceman
Digging out my heart
In some distant sadness
Cos the desert has encroached upon
The places where we lived
And 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
The junk boat phantoms 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 landfall
Thought I thought I'd found it
But 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
You again
Thought I was a spaceman
Digging out my heart
In some distant sand dune
You again
You again
You again
