Mission to Mars Songtext
von Megadeth

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
