Yeah Drifting on the spaceway By the Betelgeuse Hotel Mapping out constellations Of the place I know so well Sifting through the system For the piece that knows my name Endlessly I listen In the master game Welcome to my world (Welcome to my world) Welcome to my only world (Welcome to my only world) It is full of space junk But your words are coming through I'm riding on the space junk And it's bringing me to you Bringing me to you Through the tenth dimension To the certainties beyond Dreamily in attention And the sub-atomic bomb Machine that spins within me And the spirit that drives me on Searching for an answer Welcome to my world (Welcome to my world) Welcome to my only world (Welcome to my only world) My head is full of space junk But your words are getting through I'm riding on the space junk And it's bringing me to you Bringing me to you, yeah It's bringing me to you, yeah, yeah oh Sitting on the space junk What am I to do? I'm riding on the space junk And it's bringing me to you My head is full of space junk But your words are getting through I'm riding on the space junk And it's bringing me to you It's bringing me to you It's bringing me to you It's bringing me to you
