Ian Hunter - Stranded In Reality

Let me unveil a soberin' tale
I bought my spaceship second-hand
Should'a known better, the steering jammed
I'm lookin' all over for a place to land

Episode two: Earth to the rescue
Somebody pulled the emergency cord
Everybody jumped overboard and I wound up in the maternity ward
It was a baptism, baptism, baptism, baptism, baptism, baptism by fire

Stranded in reality
It's a dodgy proposition
They still believe in fairy tales
'n' lots of ammunition

Adolescence, it doesn't make any sense
Anti-social media saw their communication cords
And something in me wants to roar
Bat crazy, bat crazy, bat crazy, bat crazy, bat crazy

Stranded in reality
It's the age of the deluded
Everybody's got a brain
But the batteries ain't included
(let's go)

Let me conclude this sad interlude
The spaceship's fixed but whaddya know
PCB won't let us go and all I said was UFO
UFO, UFO, UFO, UFO, UFO

Stranded in reality
Well I ain't too optimistic
Realism's upped and left
It's all materialistic
Stranded in reality
I'm beginning to see what this is
Give the people what they want
Or it's gonna be bad for business

Stranded in reality
Why am I losing my enthusiasm
