    Not a pining love song, but a popish, upbeat, conversely Sci-fi-spirited jingle ... But for the cello, the overall sound is similar to The Pretenders'. 'Back to Me' was written with a Sci-fi theme, akin to another of our songs, 'Red Sands of Mars.' To wit: "Gardens on Mercury, factories on Mars, test tube humans controlling the stars!"

    Story Behind the Song
    Feeling relatively helpless about conditions here on Earth, the song evolved from that emotion. It is a song about losing touch with the Earth ... Mother Earth or even God, if you will.

    The theme might well serve as a comtemporary epilogue to 'The Man Who Fell to Earth.' Bowie might even be moved to a feeling of nostalga ... I would cretainly like to know!!!

    Lyrics
    Crazy notion of human kind . . .
    No land can be owned!
    Only nature's contract binds . . .
    You will see, when the great day comes!

    Chorus:

    Come back to me! I’m waiting patiently!
    Come back to me, I’m waiting patiently . . .

    No time to waste
    On our great mistakes!
    It's time to meet the face of fate!

    Gardens on Mercury,
    Factories on Mars,
    Test tube humans controlling the stars . . .

    Chorus:

    Come back to me! I'm waiting patiently!
    Come back to me, I'm waiting patiently . . .

    What have we done?
    Are we not one?
    Everything's managed, Nowhere to run . . .

    Time and blood, are on our hands
    You are the way,
    Don't sink where you stand!

    Come back to me! I'm waiting patiently!

    Come back, come back . . .
