Holger Czukay - True Story lyrics

[?] Or maybe it was Golden Hut Or some of those fine tobaccos into a cigarette With some of that great... The great plant, you know the great plant The great plant, you know, grows every minute, every minute And there...

Oh, I can remember the smell [sniffs] As the fear lit And there And there it was The makings of a final episode In the lives of the, of the Space Rangers Remember Rocky Jones? I don't even remember Rocky Jones very well But Rocky Jones was a Space Ranger A very tall, smiling Space Ranger
