I must've died and gone to heaven
'cos it was a quarter past eleven on a Saturday in 1999
Right across from where I'm standing
on the dance floor she was landing
it was clear that she was from another time
Like some baby Barbarella
with the stars as her umbrella
she asked me if I'd like to magnetize
Do I have to go star-trekking
'cos it's you I should be checking
so she laser beamed me with her cosmic eyes
She's just a cosmic girl from another galaxy
my heart's at zero gravity
She's from a cosmic world putting me in ecstasy
transmitting on my frequency She's cosmic
I'm scanning all my radars
well she said she's from a quasar
forty thousand million light years away
It's a distant solar system
I tried to phone but they don't list 'em
so I asked her for a number all the same
She said, step in my transporter so I can teleport ya
all around my heavenly body
This could be a close encounter
I should take care not to flounder
Sends me into hyperspace, when I see her pretty face
She's just a cosmic girl from another galaxy
my heart's at zero gravity
She's from a cosmic world putting me in ecstasy
transmitting on my frequency She's cosmic
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
She's just a cosmic girl from another galaxy
transmitting on my frequency
Can't you be my cosmic woman? I need you, I want you
to be my cosmic girl for the rest of time I'm losing my mind
on that cosmic girl she putting me in ecstasy.
Everything is good and brown
oh I'm here again
where the sun shines hot upon my face my friends
all clasp my hand and all my hesitations
have disappeared without a trace
I'm glad I've found somebody who I can rely on
RIT.: this is the return of the space cowboy
it's a man that's temporary guess that's all
said the speed archiever oh you and I can be there
baby I have to get high to get by get on.........
everything is good and I am green say I'm mad again
and I don't suppose I'm coming down
I can see clearly so high in the sky
a man with psychedelic picture frames
I've had enough to share
those out
he's running for better ground somebody who
he can rely on
RIT.: this is the return of the space cowboy…
now he's here again now he's here again
and I don't know what I'd do without him
next time, say everything everything is good and brown
now that now that he's around
everything............ everything.............
Oh yeah, what we're living in
(let me tell ya)
And it's a wonder man can eat at all
when things are big that should be small
Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us
And I'm giving all my love to this world
only to be told
I can't see I can't breathe No more will we be
And nothing's gonna change the way we live
'cos we can always take but never give
And now that things are changing for the worse
See, it's a crazy world we're living in
end I just can't see that half of us
immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these
Futures made of virtual insanity now
always seem to, be governed by this
love we have for useless twisting
of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound for we all live underground
And I'm thinking what a mess we're in
Hard to know where to begin
If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made
And now every mother, can choose the colour
of her child, that's not natures way
Well that's what they said yesterday
There's nothing left to do but pray
I think it's time I found a new religion
It's so insane to synthesize another strain
There's something in these future's that we have to be told
Futures made of virtual insanity now
always seem to, be governed by this
love we have for useless twisting
of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound for we all live underground
Now there is no sound
if we all live underground
And now it's virtual insanity
forget your virtual reality
Oh, there's nothing so bad I know
Of this virtual insanity we're livin' in
Has got to change
Things, will never be the same
And I can't go on while we're livin' in
virtual insanity
This world, has got to change
'Cos I just, I just can't keep going on
it was virtual
Virtual insanity that we're livin' in
That virtual insanity is what it is
Futures made of virtual insanity now
always seem to, be governed by this
love we have
for useless twisting
of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound for we all live underground
Now there's life that we're living
it's all going wrong and
out of the window, did you know that
there is nothing worse than
a melting mind
there is nothing worse than
a foolish mind
Virtual Insanity is what we're living in
well is alright.
