Red Planet

I kept the company through and through
A patchwork assembly of all who withdrew
Incomprehensibly from me
And I was a radio in the basement
Scouring static for functional stations
All in a quest of familiarity

And you're the traitor after all
Despite the sentiment
I see you walk the back alley now
And in the morning I resolve
To think far less of it
In time we'll return to the ground

And the sun rises over the red planet
And the sun rises over here too

I'm keeping a log of what I let happen
Overnight lovers and forces of habit
Forming a list of discrepancies
But it seems I've set out to become my parents
To inherit more than a simple appearance
And become a pawn in the plight of domesticity

And we're just neighbours after all
I'm down Park avenue
In aisles of the grocery story
And in the crowded afternoon
A big hand summons you
And takes you where I've not tread before

Where the sun rises over the red planet
While the sun rises over here too
And the sun rises over the red planet
And the sun rises over here too
