Spaceman
Cinema Bizarre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spaceman
I always wanted you to go into space man

Pungent smells, they consummate my home
Beyond the black horizon
Tryin' to take control
See my girl, she shivers in her bones
The sun and zenith rising
Tryin' to take us all

There's a fire between us
So where is your god?
There's a fire between us
I can't get off the carousel
I can't get off this world

The sickening taste, homophobic jokes
Images of fascist folks
Beam me up 'cause I can't breathe

Spaceman
I always wanted you to go into space man
Spaceman
Spaceman

It's time to terminate this great white world
Morbid fascination
Television takes control (control)
Decimation, different races fall
Electronic information
Tampers with your soul

There's a fire between us
So where is your god?
There's a fire between us
I can't get off the carousel
I can't get off this world

The sickening taste, homophobic jokes
Images of fascist folks
Beam me up 'cause I can't breathe

Spaceman
I always wanted you to go into space man
Spaceman
I always wanted you to go into space man
Spaceman




I always wanted you to go into space man
Spaceman
