Have you heard the news from outer space?

Seems that somewhere in the ancient dunes

Of silver moons like giant spoons

Lie dusty tombs

Of martian men 

In Uboat pens

And they will come to kill us all


Because our plastic factories

And our catastrophic theories are all we have

We live our lives from paper bags

And I know better than you know

I'd kill you cause you drive to slow

Aggressive instincts will do us in

Just give us the chance for us to prove it ourselves


Don't you know that all machines sink?


So we laid back and we watched space revolve

With bodies of astronauts long cold

Blinking like lonely satellites

Where we left vapour trails

Through cotton skies

Come on let's scratch the heavens one last time

Cause we're all sinking in the sunshine

And though you'd love to stay

Well you said you must be on your way

To where the rainbows and ufos

Fall ten at a time

In a shower of glitter and gold


We'll all be waiting for you here...
