Sometimes there’s no star shining
                               
Scouting the edge of the universe
                               
Sometimes you can’t see a horizon
                             
Between the ocean and the earth
                                                
And just when you were thinking about slinkin’ down

I’m gonna pull you up â€“ I’m gonna pull ya round

                             
May I remind you of that scene?
                        
The spirit is our gasoline
                             
May I remind you of that scene?
                             
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen

May I remind you of that scene?

Let a million mirror balls beam
                             
May I remind you of that scene?

                                           
And you say â€˜living ain’t nothing but hassles’
                         
In a manilla envelope rain
                                                                   
And driving coal all-night to Newcastle
               
It’s getting to be a repetitive strain

And just when you thought you re going down the drain â€¦

          
May I remind you of that scene?

The spirit is our gasoline

May I remind you of that scene?
                        
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
                             
May I remind you of that scene?

Let a million mirror balls beam
                             
May I remind you of that scene?


I’m gonna pull you up â€“ I’m gonna pull ya round


May I remind you of that scene?

The spirit is our gasoline

May I remind you of that scene?
                        
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen


Let a million mirror balls beam

The spirit is our gasoline

May I remind you of that scene?
                        
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen

                                    
They say the stars can’t see their rays
                                   
Nor can they count their numbered days
                                
No flower can says what perfume is
                              
We got all this and Bird and Diz
                            
May I remind you of that scene?
                        
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
                               
May I remind you of that scene?
