Lyrics[]

The only place where you can dream
Living here is not what is seems
Ship of white light in the sky
Nobody there to reason why

Here I am, I'm not really there
Smiling faces ever so rare
Let's walk in deepest space
Living here just isn't the place
Oh, oh oh

The only place where you can dream
Living here is not what is seems
Ship of white light in the sky
Nobody there to reason why

Here I am, I'm not really there
Smiling faces ever so rare
Let's walk in deepest space
Living here just isn't the place

Stalks of light grow from the ground
When I cry there isn't a sound
All my feelings cannot behold
I'm happy in my new strange world

Leaves of green grasses twine
Girls drinking plasma wine
Look at love a dream unfolds
Living here you'll never grow old

Oh, baby
Won't you hear me call
Ooh
