 For this bass tab, the bassline is simple, single notes. So I have put chord names over 
of lyrics, but (instead of chords) they represent bass notes.

Intro:

The Night...                     ...in my ears.

    Bb                              A

   City screams...                ..twenty years.

 For the "I'm the omegaman" parts, the bass plays ringing F bass notes every other bar.
It would be First bar:F [rings through second bar] Third Bar:F [rings through fourth etc.)

 I think that's the best way for me to describe it, anyway. Here's the lyrics and notes:

Intro: F

    Bb                                  A
The night came down, jungle sounds were in my ears
Bb                                 A
City screams are all I’ve heard in twenty years
    Bb                               A
The razor’s edge of night, it cuts into my sleep
  Bb
I sit upon the edge now
        A
Shall I make that leap?

F            F
I’m the Omegaman
F            F
I’m the Omegaman

    Bb                             A
The sky’s alive with turned on television sets
  Bb                                A
I walk the streets and seek another vision yet
    Bb                             A
The echo makes me turn to see that last frontier
    Bb                            A
The edge of time closes down as I disappear

F            F
I’m the Omegaman
F            F
I’m the Omegaman
F            F
I’m the Omegaman
F            F
I’m the Omegaman
G              Bb        C
Always talking to myself
Oh!

Solo: Same as verses (Bb A Bb A etc)

    Bb                                    A
The time that’s best is when surroundings fade away
    Bb                              A
The presense of another world comes close to me
     Bb                             A
It’s time for me to throw away this paper knife
    Bb                          A
I’m not alone in reaching for a perfect life

F            F
I’m the Omegaman
F            F
I’m the Omegaman
F            F
I’m the Omegaman
F            F
I’m the Omegaman
