lyrics

I wanna move to Mars
No motorbikes, no cars
No overzealous overdosing movie stars
Just a red sea of sand streaming as far
As far
As far as the eye can decipher

I wanna live on Mars
No communists smoking their cigars
No capitalists investing in their bars
Just me with my guitar and my heart
My heart
My guitar, serenading this sanguine star
I wanna move to Mars

Send me on a shuttle and shoot me beyond the moon
I need to get away from this disasterpiece so blue
Badgers mixing it up just to find something to do
Planet Earth, I need to escape from you
I won't let myself lose myself to you
Lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose

Losing sight of the big picture
Shooting blind over a little stricture
Get over it, it isn't that big of a deal
But you won't 'cause kickers never ever want to feel
A little good, a little peaceful
So I'm gonna get me a space shuttle
I wanna move to Mars

I wanna live on Mars
Planet Earth is such a farce
Slice itself up to complain of its scars
I just want a red sea of sand and some stars
Some stars
Some stars to stare at and settle my heart
I wanna move to Mars

Losing sight of the big picture
Shooting blind over a little stricture
Get over it, it isn't that big of a deal
But you won't 'cause kickers never ever want to feel
A little good, a little peaceful
So I'm gonna get me a space shuttle
I wanna move to Mars (Send me on a rocket)
I wanna live on Mars (Send me on a rocket)
I'm gonna move to Mars
