<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

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

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
