<2 progressions of G D G D C G Em C>

I saw a cigar shaped flying ship

It landed outside on my lawn

You poked your head out of a door

And said, "Hurry up get on."

I've never seen the sight before

The world became a shrinking ball

I asked where you were taking me

You said, "Shut up and you will see."

CHORUS

<C G C G D>

Waves of time they rock us back and forth

There's no telling if we'll stay on course

<2 progressions of G D G D C G Em C>

We raced across the galaxy

Away from all our ugliness

I felt beautiful and free

Out where the devil can't exist

I felt a burst of energy

Hot white light poured from your eyes

We sped into infinity

I felt beautiful and free

CHORUS

<C G C G D>

Waves of time they rock us back and forth

There's no telling if we'll stay on course

<solo G D G D C G Em C>

<2 progressions of G D G D C G Em C>

Now I'm no longer in my life

I've left all my friends behind

Now letters don't get past my door

I can't really read them anymore

You took me to another world

Where time ceases to hold sway

And computers contain the missing key

To life's most sacred mystery

<C G C G D>

The secret of life is no secret at all

For secrets hold death and

Lies only build walls

<solo G D G D C G Em C>

<C G C G D>

The secret of life is no secret at all

For secrets hold death and

Lies only build walls

<END ON G>
