Lyrics Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock

Somewhere Apart

Somewhere apart

Somewhere you must be dreamin'

Somewhere the world is screaming

Somewhere apart

A space between is not a final answer

I'll never ever be a dancer

So get me fish eggs and a violin

I'm gonna burn your bongos tonight

And let Graham have a chance

'Cause no one ever lets him dance

And all them see-through things are crawling

From the sea

Somewhere apart

A whistle summons up the lava

We must be somewhere East of Java

"O shed your bags, here comes a mule!"

The phantoms of the dispossessed

Wander through the wilderness

Crying out in mortal stress

Never ever come to rest

Somewhere apart

You know they're always

Somewhere apart

Somewhere apart

With flowers and a Geiger counter stumblin'

And for his distant keys he's fumblin'

Mule-headed man

Somewhere apart
