lyrics

I'm in a God-forsaken city
I'm in a God-forsaken bar.
I just watched my team get beaten
I just sold my old guitar.
My woman's disappointed,
My dog's gone off me too.
So I'll just keep on drinking
And work out what to do.

I'm going to sit here on this bar-stool
And close my eyes so tight
Soon I'll begin to fade
And I'll be out of sight
Just like back in Star Trek
I'm going to boldly go
Into that third dimension
Leave this sorry earth below.

Disappear
Away I'll fly
Floating on the breeze
Disappear
Way up high
Above the fields and the trees
I shall be so happy
In that great beyond
Disappear
Don't look for me
I'll be gone, gone, gone.

I'll be like Lord Lucan
Or the crew of the Marie Celeste
A mystery, an enigma,
Where I've gone no one will guess.
But I'll be out there somewhere
Distant as a dream
Drifting through the universe
Checking out the scene.

'Cos up where the air is pure
There's no envy, greed or lust
Oh, there ain't no deadly sin within
A floating piece of dust.
There's no place in space for a sad face
No blues in the Milky Way
And you can't hear complaining
When you're a trillion miles away

CHORUS

Oh the stars are shining oh so bright
I'll wave as they fly past
I'll leave my blues in the black hole of the night
Free at last....

Maybe I'll find another planet
Where I'll have an alien wife
There my team will win every game
And guitars will be for life.
And late one summer's evening
Beneath a crescent moon
Floating on the warm night air
You'll hear this little tune.

CHORUS
