Thought I Was a Spaceman

[Verse 1: Damon Albarn]

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 to keep the demons in

But we never succeeded, we never succeeded

In fact, we failed

[Verse 2: Damon Albarn]

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

[Verse 3: Damon Albarn]

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

[Verse 4: Damon Albarn & Graham Coxon]

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5: Graham Coxon]

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

[Instrumental Outro]
