Belle And Sebastian - A Space Boy Dream lyrics

I dreamt I had to go to Mars I'm always kidding on about going to Mars for the day But faced with the reality of it, in a dream, I was terrified And it wasn't going to be like a moon trip There was three of us going, but we couldn't all go on the same ship We had to go one at a time with a day between us I had to go first And it was the thought of pa**ing through all that black space All the darkness with nothing in it And then being the first one to land there, all alone I knew it was supposed to be all dark around With just a red surface But what if I got there and it was light All civilised and populated and stuff? So I made a plan The other astronauts were going to be my dad and my sister And my dad would come first after me So I decided when I landed I would just stay in my seat until he got there And then we could get out together and have a look around And see what sort of things were there And when I woke up and I was lying in the darkness I thought I had landed And I just lay still for a while Waiting for my dad to get there too
