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 be
  
  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
  
  And I still have the hole where my heart was
  And the head where my mind used to live
  The rest of my body was kidnapped by aliens
  Who took 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

  The rest of my body was kidnapped by aliens
  Who took everything I had to give
  
  There's palm trees and milky machine guns
  And sunsets that melt like a gem in the sea
  Palm trees and babies and televised wind
  And occasional pieces of me
  
  Once I was something but I can't remember
  Whatever that something should be
