    Spacetown

    by: Happy Head

    (David Barratt/Bill Clift/Carl L. Marsh)
    anybody ever had a dream
    wouldn't wake up
    and lose it over me
    anybody ever stole a scene
    wouldn't need to
    if the could only be
    strangely serene
    facing the shakedown
    nobody ever ran the race
    and came out
    the same as they went in
    nobody in a sacred place
    need leave it
    if they could only bring
    some sense of grace for time
    to lay down
    hold this terrifying love
    a charm against the cold
    do this and think of me
    and let the world unfold
    spaced out in spacetown
    i know you've been
    shaping up for the shakedown
    so let me in
    we live and learn or crash and burn
    this is spacetown
    we're living in spacetown
    everybody in the neighbourhood
    wouldn't move on
    if they could only see
    everybody for the common good
    shout something
    apart from look at me
    just watch the screen
    when the mirror breaks down
    you with all that you could own
    are trying to be true
    and wait so patiently
    for a bolt from out the blue
    show me something i can use
    a stone that i can throw
    or shall i turn away
