This song is about someone who has been assigned to spend 15 years on another planet, or perhaps the Moon. He’s a miner in some kind of forced labor camp or on a very long work contract. He’s been dreaming of going home and now his time is almost up, but he’s not sure what’s left to go back to. He’s...
Miner at the Dial-a-View Lyrics
I found your house and I saw your car
But I've no idea where you are
From the dial-a-view
Tire scraps on the federal roads
Look like crash landed crows
From the dial-a-view
Hello, welcome to dial-a-view
To locate the area in which you wish to observe
You must program in the longitude and the latitude
For a closer, more detailed picture
Use either zoom or the micro-zoom controls
Good luck
I dream at night
Of going home someday
Somewhere so far away
So dream alright
I know it's going to take some time
I'm going home someday
Fifteen years is almost done
And I don't recognize anyone
From the dial-a-view
My home, my friends and you
I watch them fade but what can I do
From the dial-a-view
Hello, welcome to dial-a-view
To locate the area in which you wish to observe
You must program in the longitude and the latitude
For a closer, more detailed picture
Use either zoom or the micro-zoom controls
Good luck
I dream at night
Of going home someday
Somewhere so far away
So dream alright
I know it's going to take some time
I'm going home someday
I dream at night
Of going home someday
Somewhere so far away
So dream alright
I know it's going to take some time
I'm going home someday
I dream at night
Of going home someday
Somewhere so far away, yeah
So dream alright
I know it's going to take some time
I'm going home someday
I dream
