The First One on Mars
what will it be like
to be the first one standing on mars
all the stars
still so far
away
how will it feel
to be so far away from home
small red stones
thinking on their own
what will the first words be
to touch that cold microphone
suddenly thrown in the twilight zone
"Tell 'em you wanna go back home!
NO MORE RED STONES!
you can't remember a bloody thing.
memories fading---can't remember the faces
that you love."
when will you realize that
you're just one part of the sky
floating along
lost among the stars
what will it be like
to walk along the side of a dune
knowing that there is no harvest moon
what will the first words be
to touch that cold microphone
suddenly thrown in the twilight zone
(chorus)
what will it be like
to be the first one standing on mars
all the stars
still so far
away.
