[Verse 1]

Thought I was a spaceman
D#m
Digging out my heart
C#maj7/G#
In some distant sand dunes
C#maj7/G# A#sus2
In a car park

'Cause the desert had encroached upon
D#m
The places where we lived
C#maj7/G#
People like me fight
C#maj7/G# A#sus2
To keep the demons in
Fm7
But we never succeeded

We never succeeded
C#maj7/G# A#sus2
In fact, we failed

Thought I found my black box

Washed up on the shore

On outlying islands
C#maj7/G# A#sus2
Past the land fall

But that was not true at all

I'd walked into a bar
C#maj7/G# A#sus2
Raised hell
[Verse 4]

Cut the chasm out me

Always and always the same

Put the ghost in writing

And let it be (You again)
