Klaatu - A Million Miles AwayLyrics

They used to tell me that I was just a fool Dreaming away my time But they soon found the more they put me down The more I blocked them from my mind I used to get my teacher so uptight He'd always have to ask his questions twice I'd be a million miles away Drifting through time and space I was a million miles away from any place I was a million miles away In a world of my own A million miles away to parts unknown I'd be gone My end-of-term reports would always show I did pretty well at school But I kept them hid from all the other kids I didn't want to seem uncool My homeroom teacher didn't understand The reason why I never raised my hand I was a million miles away In a world of my own A million miles away in parts unknown I'd be gone I've flown across the galaxies And been to Berkeley Square I've passed the time with Sophocles But never left my chair But I'm a million miles away Drifting through time and space A million miles away from any place A million miles away I've built a world all my own A million miles away to parts unknown I'd be gone A million miles away
