The Killers - Spaceman Lyrics

It started with a low light,
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed;
And then they took my blood type,
It left a strange impression in my head.
You know that I was hoping,
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind;
But when they cut me open,
I guess that changed my mind.
And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time,
’cause they calling me by my name
And the zipping white light beams
disregards the bombs and satellites

That was the turning point;
That was one lonely nigh

The song maker says, “It ain’t so bad”
The dream maker’s going make you mad
The spaceman says, “Everybody look down
Its all in your mind”

Well now I’m back at home, and-
I’m looking forward to this life I live;
You know its 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

And you know I’m fine,
but I hear those voices at night sometimes they justify my claim,
and the public don’t dwell my transmission
’cause it wasn’t televised

But, it was the turning point,
Oh what a lonely night

The song maker says, “It ain’t so bad”
The dream maker’s going make you mad;
The spaceman says, “Everybody look down
Its all in your mind”

My global position systems are vocally addressed;
They say the Nile used to run from east to west,
They say the Nile used to run - from east to west.

And you know I’m fine,
but I hear those voices at night,
sometimes

The song maker says, “It ain’t so bad”
The dream maker’s going make you mad;
The spaceman says, “Everybody look down
Its all in your mind”
The song maker says, “It ain’t so bad”
The dream maker’s going make you mad;
The spaceman says, “Everybody look down
Its all in your mind”

It’s all in my mind

oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah x8
