lyrics

Hey, mama – I`m coming home

There`s too much sand
And there`s too much heat
There`s only other guys here that I get to meet
I pitched my Arab tent on Millennium Dune
I`d rather live on the dark side of the moon

Isaac Asimov said Mars is a smash
I want to go dancing with a slip of a lass
The other guys here they act pretty mean
This is the lousiest planet I`ve ever seen

There are no girls on Mars
No celebrity parties, no cocktail bars
Hey, mama – I`m coming home

I want planet Earth – I want cooling rain
The other guys here are driving me insane
The sun comes up and it never goes down
I live in Capsule 69 in Rocket Town

There are no girls on Mars
No hot tub parties that go too far
Hey, mama – I`m coming home
Yeah, mama – I`m coming home

My mama told me:
Hang on in there, son
When you return to Earth
You`ll be sure to find someone
I know that you feel
That you might have gone too far
But never forget, my son
You will always be my red star

Everything thing I eat tastes of Martian sand
I wanna jump and jive to an Earthbound band
This is no place for a red-blooded guy
I wanna come down
I don`t wanna live in the sky

There are no girls on Mars
No Marilyn Monroe – no Hedy Lamarr
Hey, mama – I`m coming home
Yeah, mama – I`m coming home
Hey, mama – I`m coming home
