G A slaveship, lost at sea A slaveship, lost at sea C And I'm drowning, your waters deep I'm drowning, your waters deep G A spaceship, in the country A spaceship, in the country C And we're flying, into green We're flying, into green
D And I told you a thousand times (sold you a thousand lies) C I love you, would you marry me? G I love you, would you marry me?

The city, there's an empty street The city, there's an empty street And we're dancing, to the lonely beat We're dancing, to the lonely beat Your building, is where we'll meet Your building, is where we'll meet And I'm hungry, lets get something to eat I'm hungry, lets get something to eat
Cos I told you a thousand times (sold you a thousand lies) I love you, would you marry me? I love you, would you marry me?
