Sometimes  there’s no star shining
Scouting  the edge of the universe
Sometimes  you can’t see a horizon
Between  the ocean and the earth
And  just when you were thinking about  slinkin’ down
I’m  gonna pull you up – I’m gonna pull ya round
May  I remind you of that scene?
The  spirit is our gasoline
May  I remind you of that scene?
 We were arms  aloft  in Aberdeen
May  I remind you of that scene?
Let  a million mirror balls beam
May  I remind you of that scene?
And  you say ‘living ain’t nothing but hassles’
In  a manilla envelope rain
And  driving coal all-night to Newcastle
 It’s getting to  be a repetitive strain
 And just when you thought you're going down the drain
May  I remind you of that scene?
The  spirit is our gasoline
May  I remind you of that scene?
 We were arms  aloft  in Aberdeen
May  I remind you of that scene?
Let  a million mirror balls beam
May  I remind you of that scene?
 I’m gonna pull you up – I’m gonna pull ya round
May  I remind you of that scene?
The  spirit is our gasoline
May  I remind you of that scene?
 We were arms  aloft  in Aberdeen
Let  a million mirror balls beam
The  spirit is our gasoline
May  I remind you of that scene?
 We were arms  aloft  in Aberdeen
They  say the stars can’t see their rays
Nor  can they count their numbered days
No  flower can says what perfume is
We  got all this and Bird and Diz
May  I remind you of that scene?
 We were arms  aloft  in Aberdeen
May  I remind you of that scene?
