[Verse]
           
She packed my 

              
bags last nigh

  
t pre-flight
           
Zero hour, nin

    
e a.m.
            
And I'm gonna 

       
be high       

          
    as a kite 

   
by then
           
I miss the ear

              
th so much, I 


miss my wife
           
It's so lonely

        
 out in space
        
On such a time

          
less flight


[Chorus]
            
And I think it

              
's gonna be a

[Verse]
           
Mars ain't the

              
 kind of place

    
 to raise your

 kids
           
In fact it's c

       
old as hell
            
And there's no

          
 one there to 

        
raise them,   

             
    if you did
           
And all this s

              
cience I don't

 
 understand
           
It's just my j
