Countdown is commencing, pretty soon I'll be saying, "Goodbye Earth"
A rocket ride on a bucking bronc, at seventeen thousand miles an hour
It's only seven months to Mars, give or take a light year or two (Or three)
And I wanna, I wanna be an astronaut
I wanna, I wanna, wanna
Starting lift-off procedures...
All systems standing by – over –
OVER?!
Blast-off, I'm on my way, I'm a shooting star
A man on a mission
I hang with the man on the moon, I'll be there soon
A man on a mission to Mars
I headbang on the gangway, say my prayers, cross my heart and hope to die
Open a window for the Seven Sisters of Pleiades
"Hello ladies", "Hello Moon Man!"
Three hundred million miles to Mars, it doesn't seem so far away (Yes it does!)
And I wanna, I wanna be an astronaut
I wanna, I wanna, wanna
Starting landing procedures...
All systems standing by – over –
OVER?!
Blast-off, I'm on my way, I'm a shooting star
A man on a mission
I hang with the man on the moon, I'll be there soon
A man on a mission to Mars
Blast-off, I'm on my way, I'm a shooting star
A man on a mission
I hang with the man on the moon, I'll be there soon
I'm a man on a mission to Mars
