Once I was something but I can't remember   Whatever that something should be   Once I was something but I can't remember   Whatever that something should      Mostly I'm scattered with castaway matter   The usual stuff that you see   Hours and hours of televised time   And occasional pieces of me      Once I was something but I can't remember   Whatever that something should be   Hours and hours of televised wind   And occasional pieces of me      I still got the hole where my heart was   And the head where my mind used to live   The rest of my body was once kidnapped by aliens   Who took most everything I had to give      There's palm trees and milky machine guns   And sunsets that melt like a gem in the sea   Hours and hours of televised wind   And occasional pieces of me      And I still got the hole where my heart was   And the head where my mind used to live   And the rest of my body was once kidnapped by aliens   Took most everything I had to give      There's palm trees and milky machine guns   And sunsets that melt like a gem in the sea   Hours and hours of televised wind   And occasional pieces of me      Once I was something but I can't remember   Whatever that something should be   Hours and hours of televised time   And occasional pieces of me
