Cat to Mars

Casey Sean Martin 1987 (Philadelphia)



I try to reach you
but your brains
up in Mars
How I can heal you
when I can't
reach it's scars
I know I hurt you baby
and they hurt you too
but how long my lady
until it turns you crazy
Isolation gets us nowhere
So does acting like
you don't care
I know it isn’t even fair
But there’s a limit to protection
and I think you're there
Let me inside again
And show you I can care
I know I messed up with that lie
Every day I regret it
I don’t ask you to forget it  
But a cat has nine lives
Baby put some fur on me
Give me eight more
And with them I will shine
Let’s leave that one behind
I know it’s easy to ask why
But not so easy to say goodbye
Gift me with your love again
And i’ll come there, I will fly
A cat to Mars to get you
Until the end of time
