(David Barratt/Bill Clift/Carl L. Marsh)





anybody ever had a dream

wouldn't wake up

and lose it over me

anybody ever stole a scene

wouldn't need to

if the could only be

strangely serene

facing the shakedown



nobody ever ran the race

and came out

the same as they went in

nobody in a sacred place

need leave it

if they could only bring

some sense of grace for time

to lay down



hold this terrifying love

a charm against the cold

do this and think of me

and let the world unfold



spaced out in spacetown

i know you've been

shaping up for the shakedown

so let me in

we live and learn or crash and burn

this is spacetown

we're living in spacetown



everybody in the neighbourhood

wouldn't move on

if they could only see

everybody for the common good

shout something

apart from look at me

just watch the screen

when the mirror breaks down



you with all that you could own

are trying to be true

and wait so patiently

for a bolt from out the blue



show me something i can use

a stone that i can throw

or shall i turn away

and fall into the flow
