It’s been three days since I saw the light,
It’s like I only come alive at night,
Like a dog on a city street,
Keeping my head low and dragging my feet.

Falling through the cracks,
Since you upped and walked away,
Right back to the lonely girl you met that day,
I’d rather have not met you than feel this way.

It’s been three days since I saw your face,
Can't shake the vision of you packing your suitcase,
You said you don't know what you want,
I said I didn't want a broken heart.

Falling through the cracks,
Since you upped and walked away,
Right back to the lonely girl you met that day,
I’d rather have not met you than feel this way.

I know a place just out of town,
Comes to life when the sun goes down,
Where everybody knows your name,
And no two nights are ever the same.

There’s a band playing country blues,
King of the road and blue suede shoes,
Two steppin' on the worn oak floor,
People don’t dance like that no more.

This is where they come to play,
After a long day,
Come and drink the night away.
At the sunset saloon,
We hope ya come back soon.

With a friend or by yourself,
The beer's always cold and the liquor's top shelf,
Smoke twirling under neon lights,
You won't be blue for long on whiskey night.

Shooting pool, hustling from the pros,
Knocking down shots like dominoes,
Leave your money on the table, double or quits,
You don't even know you've lost when the tequila hits.

This is where they come to play,
After a long day,
Come and drink the night away.
At the sunset saloon,
We hope ya come back soon.

This is where they come to play,
After a long day,
Come and drink the night away.
At the sunset saloon,
We hope ya come back soon.

We obey to the call
(Or) whatever, you name it
Day by day, door to door
There's a story crawling on
It's a journey, it's a song
And it drives us all along

We're the space ship men, oh oh
We're the space ship men

People walk on a ball
Live on a bullet
No one's bound to sweep the floor
Stop staring at your socks
We're the ever-aging scotch
Feeling dry and on a rock



We're the space ship men, oh oh
We're the space ship men
« Who said you needed a home, boys and girls ?
We never had one
And never will. »

She can't stand the TV, yeah
('n) only wants to sing
Songs of her favourite band
She's waiting for the next gig
She needs to see the show
Just like a rose needs the rain

When the whole world is at play
They're all she wants to hear
To find her way back home

You, girl
Girl sittin' in the van
You're following the band
Rock'n'roll's your favourite game

She wanted it to be, yeah
Riding with the kings
Sometimes even touchin' hands
She's ready for the next gig
She won't change anything
and they will do it again


When the whole world is at play
They're all she wants to hear
To find her way back home

You, girl
Girl sittin' in the van
You're following the band
Rock'n'roll's your favourite game
