[Verse 1]
G#m7
Thought I was a spaceman

Digging out my heart

In some distant sand dunes

In a car park

'Cause the desert had encroached upon

The places where we lived

People like me fight

But we never succeeded

We never succeeded

On outlying islands

Past the land fall

But that was not true at all

I'd walked into a bar

Raised hell
[Verse 4]

Always and always the same

Put the ghost in writing

And let it be (You again)
