By this point I'd hit on a formula of having the OB-6 intro. I sat down and played a few chords and came away with the intro you hear now. I still think it's the best intro and the song itself is one of my favourites on the album. The cut around 1:51 was achieved by splicing the stereo tape so that it cuts in the middle of the bass drum hit. It sounded great on the demo and took a few attempts to recreate on the final master tape.
lyrics
I'm a stranger in a stranger land... with no way home.
All the places I have been, all the things that I have seen,
Everything I knew is out of reach...
All the people that I knew, everything I long to do,
Everything I knew is out of reach...
A glowing figure said "Do not fear! I am the one who brought you here.
I have a task for you, then I'll send you home (if you want me to...)
'Cause I can see the future and I know you're The One!"
"Sir, your plan may have come undone.
I'm a spaceship jock, not the promised one. If I can help you in any way, I will..."
"There's an item that I need from a world that's far from here indeed.
I've planned a little trip, and you're the only one here who can fly a ship.
'Cause I can see the future and I know you're The One!"
