  • 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 Writer/s: Damon Albarn, David Rowntree, Graham Coxon, Steven Alexander James
