Lyrics

Doctor

We're all running fast tonight

Rocket shoes on our feet

There's a planet where it's right

I'm sure we'll get there

By next week

I could've been a doctor

I could've been a lawyer

I could've been a scientist

I could've been normal

Especially in the daylight

You say don't worry while in flight

The darkness is like a fog

I won't get scared

I won't get tired

I've been in space, so damn long

I could've been a doctor

I could've been a lawyer

I could've been a scientist

I could've been normal

Especially in the daylight

The earth is just a big blue dot

I can't see the cars and planes

There's a planet where it's right

I'm sure we'll get there

By next week

I could've been a doctor

I could've been a lawyer

I could've been a scientist

I could've been normal

Especially in the daylight
