Once, on the ground, there were spacemen from mars and big dinosaurs   and then there was me with 3 happy ghosts who lived on the coast in a big silver home   with plants who could talk and fish that could walk   and we lived on the ground   far from what we had known   we loved the ground   and made it our very own   Once, on the ground,   sky shining red and moon sounds that led us to one mountaintop   and we looked at ourselves and all we had done (we had lasted a while)   and we said our goodbyes   and we lived on the ground   far from what we had known    we loved the ground   and made it our very own   Once on the ground, we said our goodbyes to the ground.
