promise me you’ll always try
even when you are tired
promise you’ll always fight a good clean fight
promise me you won’t give in
when you are old and thin
promise you’ll always fight a good clean fight
and so goodnight to all the doubt
i’ll leave the stage without a sound
a giant heart to you, my friends
you spun me round at the dead ends
your atoms go back in the pot
The endless spiral stirs it up
You get to glimpse a bit of it
So won’t you relish every bit of that glimpse…
stifling the battlecry
allow me to apologise
for any offence that I may have caused
and now the reservoir is dry
I’ve finally fallen quiet
please tell the aliens I said hi
and so goodnight to all the doubt
i’ll leave the stage with just a bow
a bankrupt heart to you, my friends
oh we spent all that we could spend
your atoms go back in the pot
The endless spiral stirs it up
You get to glimpse a bit of it
So won’t you relish every bit of that glimpse…
and oh the show continues on
Another dusk another dawn
One day you’re here the next you’re gone
And no one’s travelling alone
your atoms go back in the pot
The endless spiral stirs it up
You get to glimpse a bit of it
So please just relish every bit of that glimpse
