I Got the Message

Creeping through suburban blight
 In a half-wrecked camper van
 Another grim and soulless night
 No sleep until it's over
 Scanning with the cold blue light
 Through a moorland made of dust
 Something's coming plain in sight
 Is the mission finally over?
 Never in a million years I dreamed that this could happen, oh no
 I got the message
 I heard the faint transmission
 I got the message
 Much too late
 Used to be a an average Joe
 Playing tapes with Steely Dan
 One morning I arose to find
 That everything was over
 Crawled out through the basement hatch
 To a wasteland filled with junk
 Nothing left but burning sand
 And a memo on the recorder
 Could I make it to the border?
 Never in a million years I dreamed that this could happen, oh no
 I got the message
 I heard the faint transmission
 I got the message
 Much too late
 I got the message
 I heard the faint transmission
 I got the message
 Much too late
 Is the mission finally over
 Is the mission finally over
 Is the mission finally over
 I got the message
 I heard the faint transmission
 I got the message
 Much too late
 I got the message
 I heard the faint transmission
 I got the message
 Much too late
 I got the message
 I heard the faint transmission
 I got the message
 Much too late
