This song is the opening track on Kasabian’s fourth album, Velociraptor!. The song describes two kids on a wasteland looking to the horizon.
[Verse 1]
Out of my garden, passed the battle cruiser
We jumped over cemetery gates
There on the wasteland, we saw the horizon
I noticed your pupils dilate

They're at it again, let's roll just like we used to
In fields when we were young our hearts got lost in the circles
We had it all, a rise and fall
I saw her face, way out in space
