Em7
Thought I was a spaceman
Dm
Digging out my heart
Cmaj7
In some distant sand dunes
          Asus2
In a car park
Em7
'Cause the desert had encroached upon
Dm
The places where we lived
Cmaj7
People like me fight
                  Asus2
To keep the demons in
Em7
But we never succeeded
Dm                Cmaj7
We never succeeded
                  Asus2
In fact, we failed

Thought I was a spaceman digging out my heart
In some distant sand dune in a car park
By the empty harbour where
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 land fall
Thought I'd 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
