Lyrics
Last Night I was a Spaceship Pilot
And all at once, I'm awake again.
Not living the dream now, remembering,
And now I've woken up to the cold new dawn,
The images still haunt me but soon they'll be gone.
Last Night I was a Spaceship Pilot.
I charted a Crystal Sea,
Last night I was a spectral voyager,
I sailed through colour to invisibility
And all at once, I’m awake again,
Not living a dream now, remembering.
Last night I was a fighter pilot,
My guns tore a city apart,
As the people fled I just kept on firing,
And each of those shells tore a hole within my heart.
And all at once, I’m awake again,
Not living a dream now, remembering.
Last night I lay in a bender at Stonehenge,
You were all with me and we shone with the stars,
And I remembered the beauty that was Us,
And I knew then that we had never been apart.
And all at once I’m awake again,
Not living a dream now, remembering.
And now I’ve woken up to the brave new dawn,
The images still haunt me they will never be gone.
