Driving home and feeling weak
the lights of ufo's shine above
but now the gilt is off
you 're not a freak
While the harddisk in your head
is formatted, you 're getting on
although your thoughts have gone
talking to the dead,
all your life you were aware
magic eyes might be out there
watching from a distance

Your car is old and insecure
you 're a scientist but poor
your students laugh at you, you know for sure

Martians come
they 're in your way
and you don't know
they want to play with you
and while you 're almost home
just a mile or so from helping hands you cry
wond'ring 'bout the reason why
and stop the car
under the moonless sky

You get out and look around
the trees won't give you no support
you 're all alone in court
not a single sound
silent judges soon appear
take you to their silver bowl
you have gone forever

Your car is old and insecure
you 're a scientist but poor
your students laugh at you, you know for sure

Them Martians come
they 're in your way
and you don't know
how long they 'll stay with you
and while you 're almost home
just a mile or so from helping hands
you cry
wond'ring 'bout a childish reason why,
stop the car
under the moonless sky

Sailing to your final destination
on the waves that kiss the sky, kiss the sky
visited you are by stupid thoughts, stupid thoughts
like what sharks would need for breakfast
catfish pie, catfish pie

Wond'ring do they ever brush their teeth
how about their table manners
days go by
while you 're sailing, days go by, days go by

The wide, wide ocean
is all that you can see
wind and water everywhere
keep you company, salty rain, salty rain,
with no food left in the cabin
probably it 's all in vain

All the way repeating rather straight
you 're not afraid, not afraid
even when you 're floating windless
not afraid, not afraid

Then them grey triangles cross the line
rather fine, shivers running down your spine
looks as if they come to dine

The wide, wide ocean
is all that you can see
wind and water everywhere
keep you company, salty rain, salty rain,
with no food left in the cabin
probably it 's all in vain

All alone you try a useless scream
no one there, you 're all alone, all alone
then this big surprise, you lucky boy
just awaking from a dream, from a dream

The wide, wide ocean
is all that you can see
wind and water everywhere
keep you company

You 'll find a bit of stardust
and a tiny box with dreams
a seashell filled with happiness
and the sunshine's golden beams
a bottle with a magic scent
and successes paid with rent
but still one thing above:
I sent you all my love
