Bilingual
Beneath the stars there are the bars that serve the bitter drink
The barman smiles at me, his wife, she gives a secret wink
They listen patiently to me, my story I unfold
I see their faces change, the lights go dim, I'm losing hold
ย
I used to be a boy, my heart was young and supple then
But now it's stony cold, I'm old and I could use a friend
My world is not like yours, I come from somewhere long ago
And now there's no way back, I'm lost and I feel so alone
ย
You can leave me in the air age if you like
But I'd dearly love to go back to my own time
Life in the air age isn't all the brochures say
Life in the air age, it's too dangerous to stay
Life in the air age, there's ships crashing every day into the bay
Life in the air age, it's all highways in the sky
Life in the air age, all the oceans have run dry
Life in the air age, it's grim enough to make a robot cry
