The truth is, of course, that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time. - David Bowie

This is Major Tom to Ground Control.
I'm stepping through the door,
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way.
And the stars look very different today.<p>For here
Am I sitting in a tin can,
Far above the world.
Planet Earth is blue,
And there's nothing I can do.

Frankly, I mean, sometimes the interpretations I've seen on some of the songs that I've written are a lot more interesting than the input that I put in.

I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
don't think you knew you were in this song.
