Belle & Sebastian - A Space Boy Dream lyrics

I dreamt I had to go to mars.<br><br>I'm always kidding on about going to mars for the day<br>But faced with the reality of it, in a dream, I was terrified.<br><br>And it wasn't going to be like a moon trip<br>There was three of us going, but we couldn't all go on the same ship<br>We had to go one at a time with a day between us.<br><br>I had to go first, and it was the thought of passing through all that black space<br>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<br>But what if I got there and it was light, all civilised and populated and stuff? <br><br>So I made a plan.<br>The other astronauts were going to be my dad and my sister<br>And my dad would come first after me<br>So I decided when I landed I would just stay in my seat until he got there<br>And then we could get out together and have a look around<br>And see what sort of things were there.<br><br>And when I woke up and I was lying in the darkness, I thought I had landed.<br>And I just lay still for a while, waiting for my dad to get there too.
