leaving this earth again

Eurythmics

she takes a shower in a small town
near Birmingham
though here clothes are
unfashionable
they have a timeless feel
is she real?

She leaves the building
and walks through
the housing estate
it s 7.30
a state grey sky
but in spite of this
she turns and blows a kiss

she s leaving this earth again
there s a shuttle bound for take off
11.45 a.m. she ll be there
she s special
oh so special
knows enough about science
to get married to a millionaire
she ll be there

he ll comb his hair
in a high rise apartment
on the river Tyne
though his neck is scarred
he has a strong and handsome face
a human face
he leaves the building
and walks to his electric car
it s 7.30 there s a bitter wind
but in spite of that
he turns and tips his hat

he s leaving this earth again
there s a shuttle bound for take off
11.45 a.m.

he ll be there
he s so special oh so special
knows enough about science
to forget about his morning prayers
he ll be there

I m leaving this earth again
there s a shuttle bound for take off
11.45 a.m. I ll be there
I m special oh so special
I was chosen by the captain
of a spaceship in Trafalgar Square
and I promised I d be there or be square!
