        B                F#
On the last message you sent to me
E           F#                   B
You seem confused to get an offering
        F#                             E     F#
At the events that brought us to this juncture

'Cause where’s the joy in this self-delusion?
We're all practitioners of vague illusions
Hieroglyphics and pictures

   G#m                          D#m
Careering round blind bends at high speed
              F#                      E
The loneliness of the long-distance driver

Chorus:
       B
I was lost (I was lost)
F#           E B
Lost (I was lost)
          F#     B
Then you saved me

Now who's gonna be tomorrow’s heroes?
While the system grinds
To an unseemly halt
Apologize to the streets and the rivers
The port is out in the 1980s
There's no going back now
The message degraded
And the storms evaded

Careering round blind bends at high speed
The loneliness of the broken-hearted

Chorus:
I was lost (I was lost)
Lost (I was lost)
Then you saved me
Lost (I was lost)
(I was lost)
I was lost (I was lost)
Then you saved me
Lost (I was lost)
(I was lost)
I was lost (I was lost)
Then you saved me
