"Martian Skyline" lyrics

"Martian Skyline"

She lived in a block of flats
Call the Martian skyline
I knew the street
But I never could find the floor
In the year of the rat
Long before my time
I knew the night
But I never could find the door

Things find their places
Music strikes the air
Places her hand along the path that leads to here

She lived with a dog and a cat
Called Gog and Magog
Familiars
They were her ears and
Her cat sat on the mat
It can read your mind
I know the dog has wings
And he flies

Friends in high places
Hands that pull you out
Places she's seen
We never heard about

She lived in a block of flats
Call the Martian skyline
She lived in a block of flats
Call the Martian skyline
