You know that I was hopin?, that I could leave this starcrossed world behind.

And you know I might just walk too far
(A) (B) (C#m) (G#m)
from the floor this time, ?cos they?re calling me by my name.

The starmaker says it ain?t so bad, the dream-maker?s gonna make you mad.
The spaceman says, ?Everybody look down, it?s all in your mind.?
Verse 2:
Well now I?m back at home and, I?m looking forward to this life I live.
You know it?s gonna haunt me, so hesitation to this life I give.
You think you might cross over, you?re caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.
You better look it over, before you make that leap.
Prechorus 2:
And you know I?m fine, but I hear those voices
at night sometimes, that justify my claim.
And the public don?t dwell on my transmission, ?cos it wasn?t televised.
But it was the turning point, on a lonely night.
