Beneath the stars there are the bars that serve the bitter drink. |
| [01:02.04] |
The barman smiles at me, his wife she gives a secret wink. |
| [01:10.32] |
They listen patiently to me, my story I unfold. |
| [01:15.09] |
I see their faces change, the lights go dim, I'm losing hold. |
| [02:01.20] |
I used to be a boy, my heart was young and supple then, |
| [02:06.06] |
But now it's stony cold, I'm old and I could use a friend. |
| [02:14.31] |
My world is not like yours, I come from somewhere long ago. |
| [02:19.14] |
But now there's no way back, I'm lost and feeling so alone. |
| [02:40.32] |
You can leave me in the air age if you like, |
| [02:45.24] |
But I'd dearly love to go back to my own time. |
| [02:47.25] |
Life in the air age, |
| [02:55.71] |
Isn't all the brochures say. |
| [02:57.75] |
Life in the air age, |
| [03:00.24] |
It's too dangerous to stay. |
| [03:02.22] |
Life in the air age, |
| [03:04.95] |
Airships crashing every day into the bay. |
| [03:07.32] |
Life in the air age, |
| [03:14.01] |
It's all highways in the sky. |
| [03:16.59] |
Life in the air age, |
| [03:18.33] |
All the oceans have run dry. |
| [03:20.16] |
Life in the air age, |
| [03:23.07] |
It's grim enough to make a robot cry. |
