The first track off Ball Park Music’s fourth album, Every Night the Same Dream, starts with a spacey intro before kicking into a driving beat punctuated by ample cowbell.
[Verse 1]
Feelings come in waves
What's gone now will come back again
Stop now you can't save
Behave like a slave
So switch it off
'Cause these rooms are vacant

It's nothing but pig flesh
Just listen
[Chorus]
And I was so uptight
Could not wield that knife
Suddenly you come back to me
Star stuff stays as friends
Star stuff 'til the end
Suddenly you come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
