I want to hitch a ride to Mars,
Please NASA I can't pay for fuel
but I'll bring my own food. my own water
and I'll find someone to teach me how
to make air.

Please, you can leave me in
the billion year dead sea.
I'll sift the bottom for ancient hearts
and perhaps find what killed them.

The 7 billion of us won't have
to feel so alone.

Please, you won't have to bring me back  
I'll find bones and make sand waves
to the ghosts of aliens
who perhaps will teach me... Why?

and then,
I won't need home anymore.
What is left of me will finally know.
I'll stay 'til the moon stops crying.

I don't want the power in love
I don't aim to be your master
Falling down all around
like so much well meant disaster

Oh, I never wanted a slave
I pursue a life less ruled
But if you walk without your chains
Perhaps we can make each other crazy

I'm just a human in need of suspense
no failures here, no dire need of gold
Just a falling down all around
a need for truth to be told.

Oh I'm no angel
nor aspiring demon
I'm just a human
in need of bein'.

If you walk, walk with me
I do not follow
but I will hold you
and drive you crazy

I pursue a life of me
where I want to go
and I don't want you to be
just someone to follow

I want a partner
friend, confidant...
I need a defender
and someone crazy

Someone crazy like
someone crazy about
someone I can be crazy
for and with and
forever.

Something about you...
I hear it in  your words
see it in your eyes
feel it in your smile

Your laugh talks to me in warm rain
But I am cool, closed smile
inviting eyes
we pretend we don't know.

Smiling, the games begin.

— The End —
