lyrics

I‘ve had, I’m through
I’m packing my bags and leaving here
I’ve got to get off of this planet, dear
I’ll do what I must to pay the fare
And disappear into thin air
Thin air
Thin air
Thin air

In hopes of a surrender
The starship builders sent her down
From a faraway planet
To this two-bit broken town
I lost my heart in orbit
Spinning around her blackened dome
They took away all of my magic
So I rode a moonbeam home

Hiding out in the tall grass
Waiting for the sun to go
If I leave too soon I’ll be
Betrayed by its glow.

I‘ve had it, I’m through
I’m packing my bags and leaving here
I’ve got to get off of this planet, dear
I’ll do what I must to pay the fare
And disappear into thin air
Thin air
Thin air
Thin air.

If we are caught by those monsters
They’ll smash us to bits and break us down
And gather up all of the pieces
And hide them deep beneath the ground
I think we’d better keep moving
Though we may or may not make it into space
Our chances of survival keep improving
With every step we take away from this place

Hiding out from a winter storm
Untouched by the blinding snow
In this cave we’re dry and warm
In the fire’s glow.

And then again, maybe I dreamed it all...
No one’s seen you in a while...
No one’s caught your charming smile...
Do they have a clue where you’ve been...
Do they know the state that you’re in...

I don’t think so...
