Текст Belle & Sebastian – A Space Boy Dream

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 passing 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?
