I was lost
Lost on the bypass road
Could be worse
I could be turned to toad

Won't you take me back to my hometown?
Take me back before I break down

I say you please return me
Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Just like Frankie Fontaine (X2)

I wonder what can I do?

I was found
Riding a unicorn
Could be worse
I could be backwards born

Won't you take me back to my hometown?
Take me back before I break down

Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Just like Frankie Fontaine

I say you please return me
Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Just like Frankie Fontaine

I wonder what can I do?

Calm down and then leave me alone (X4)

I say you please return me
Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Just like Frankie Fontaine (X2)

I wonder what can I do?

Quote (1) (Gruff):
"In 1979, he was on the way to market to sell clothes with two mates. His two friends were walking to the car when they saw a white light picking Frankie into space - allegedly. So his friends, obviously, go to the police to say: 'Look, a big white light has pinched our mate from his car, we are concerned' - you know? The police said: 'we don't believe you, you are only market traders, we are convinced that you have murdered him.' Lo and behold, ten days later, Frank emerges from a cabbage field, fully intact, goes home. By this time his mates have been released, because they couldn't prove anything. Frank says, 'I've only been away half an hour.' He became a media celebrity."
Quote (2) (Gruff):
"This is a homage to Frankie Fontaine who was abducted by aliens in France in the mid 1970s. They left him in a cabbage field a few miles from home. He was putting ketchup on his fries one day in a diner and it started to trigger the memories of his abduction. But in the end it is just still a simple song about wanting to go back home, whether that is from another town or from outer space."
