I 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 live
People like me fighting
To keep the demons in

But we never succeeded
We never succeeded
In fact we failed

I thought I was a spaceman
Digging out my heart
In some distant sand dunes
In a car park

By the empty harbour
Where the phantoms fall
Fight for happy valley
Sadly, the line broke

I thought I found my black ball
Washed up on the shore
All night lying on us
It was the landfall

I thought I found it
But that was not true at all
I'd walked into a bar
Raise town

Cut the calves without me
Always and always the same
But the ghost is waiting
And let it be

I thought I was a spaceman
Digging out my heart
In some distant sand dunes
In high park

I thought I was a spaceman
Digging out my heart
In some distant sand dunes
You again

I thought I was a spaceman
Digging out my heart
In some distant sand dunes
You again

You again

You again
