    [Verse 1]
    To my UFO friend
    Goodbye, goodbye
    Like a seed in the wind
    She's taking up root in the sky
    See her flickering
    Her system won't even try
    To defend and ripen
    In the radio action
    [Verse 2]
    She'll never return again
    Polarize, polarize
    The seasons will bend
    There will soon be proof
    That there is no alien
    Just a system of truth and lies
    The reason, the language
    And the law of attraction
    [Chorus]
    Just like a bad dream
    You'll disappear
    Another map turns blue
    Mirror on mirror
    And I imagine you
    Taking me outta here
    To deepen our love
    It isn't even a fraction
    [Verse 3]
    Switch to another lens
    The last sunlight
    I don't need any other friends
    The best kiss I ever had is the flickering
    Of the water so clear and bright
    To leap in, my skin
    And I could feel the reaction
    [Chorus]
    Just like a bad dream
    You'll disappear
    Another map turns blue
    Mirror on mirror
    And I imagine you
    Taking me outta here
    To deepen our love
    It isn't even a fraction
    [Instrumental Break]
    [Chorus]
    Just like a bad dream
    You'll disappear
    Another map turns blue
    Mirror on mirror
    And I imagine you
    Taking me outta here
    To deepen our love
    It isn't even a fraction
