Stars
Hum (1995)

She thinks she missed the train to Mars

She's out back counting stars

She's not at work, she's not at school, she's not in bed

I think I finally broke her

I bring her home everything I want, and nothing that she needs

I thought she'd be there holding daisies

She always waits for me

She thinks she missed the train to Mars

She's out back counting stars

I found her out back, sitting naked

Looking up and looking dead

A crumpled yellow piece of paper, with seven nines and tens

I thought she'd be there holding daisies

She always waits for me

She thinks she missed the train to Mars

She's out back counting stars
