When There Was A World Outside

When there was a world outside
Street signs all spelt out her name
The day before the Martians came
She looked and acted just the same
But something weird was in her eyes

When there was a world outside
People smiled at them in the street
Now zombies see something good to eat
He watches tapes of old TV
From before the signal died
When there was a world outside

She shook her head and that was that
He bought some gin and trashed his flat
He fell asleep with music on
When he woke up
The world was gone

When there was a world outside
Her perfume remained when she left his place
This room adrift now in outer space
A tenant of The Twilight Zone
Picture a man froze up inside
With a memory falsified
Of when there was a world outside
