Instead Of... - Nits

Tell me is it far to the planet of Mars

Can we go there jumping from star to star

Should I live my life in dreams

Should I write your name in cream

Can we get there, I don’t know

But

I see your face up in the moon

I see your eyes in the lights of June

My skies are green, the grass is blue

I’m pretty normal just like you

You

Instead of… fishing:

Sitting in a boat

Staring at the float going up and down

Day after day

Instead of… watching:

Watching the news

With the Saddam Husseins of the world

Every night the same

We’ve gone astray

Should I whisper, should I scream

Or should I lift you up in steam

When we’ll get there, I don’t know

But

I see your face up in the moon

I see your eyes in the lights of June

The skies are green, the grass is blue

I’m pretty normal just like you

Do you hear the distance smile

I guess we’re gone a long long time

'cause

I see your face up in the moon

I see your eyes in the lights of June

The skies are green, the grass is blue

Instead of me there’s only you

You

You
