E
It started with a low light
                                           B
Next thing I knew, they ripped me from my bed
                       C#m
And then they took my blood type
B                                   E
It left a strange impression in my head

E
You know that I was hoping
                                              B
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind
                     C#m
But when they cut me open
B
I guess I changed my mind

          A     B               C#m      G#m
And you know I might have just flown too far
           A         B
from the floor this time,
                C#m              G#m
'cause they're calling me by my name
             A
And they're zipping white light beams
 B           Cdim7          C#m
Disregarding bombs and satellites
B
And that was the turning point
That was one lonely night

Chorus
E                      C#m
The star maker says it ain't so bad
E                        A
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
A                 C#m
The spaceman says "everybody look down
G#m               B
it's all in your mind

Well, now I'm back at home, and
I'm looking forward to this life I live
You know it's gonna haunt me
So hesitation to this life I give

You think you might cross over
You're caught between
the devil and the deep blue sea
You'd better look it over
Before you make that leap

And you know I'm fine
But I hear those voices at night sometimes
They justify my claim
And the public don't dwell on my transmission
'Cause it wasn't televised
But it was the turning point
Oh, what a lonely night

Chorus - x2

C#m
My global position systems are vocally addressed
E             B            C#m              A
They say the Nile used to run from east to west
C#m           G#m          A
They say the Nile used to run
B
From east to west

A   G#m
I'm fine,
      C#m         B         E         G#m A B
but I hear those voices at night sometimes

Chorus - x2


it's all in your mind
it's all in your mind
