Mission to Mars

I'm on a three year mission to a planet in space
Only the coffee in my tube
Keeping a smile on my face
God help me get there to save life on earth
People back home feeling
Hopeless and worthless, oh

I got a view you could die for
Through a window so small
Radiation shooting through me
And my heart's in free fall
Something launched deep inside long ago
I'm on a mission to mars
This ain't nothing like a Rocket Man song

And I want to tell everybody
That I miss them so
Loneliness ain't nothing
'Til you orbit alone
I got a robot for a friend
Buddy he's alright
Steering the controls
While I sleep at night
Oh baby, I'm on a mission to Mars

Well I remember as a kid
I wanted to go into space
Among the others at school
I always felt out of place
Never watched tv
I just sat in my room
With my head in the clouds
And my heart frozen up on the moon

And I want to tell everybody
That I miss them so
Loneliness ain't nothing
'Til you orbit alone
I got a robot for a friend
Buddy he's alright
Steering the controls
While I sleep at night
Oh baby, I'm on a mission to Mars

If you could see what I see
The sea of tranquility
People might come together
Maybe stop hurting each other
Oh lord please let them see
The beauty of space
The beauty of space
The beauty of space
The beauty of space

And I want to tell everybody
That I miss them so
Loneliness ain't nothing
'Til you orbit alone
I got a robot for a friend
Buddy he's alright
Steering the controls
While I sleep at night
Oh baby
I'm on a mission to Mars
