An age-old song about the lengths a man will go to chase a woman and still get jilted. This version of the old story just has a new setting: Mars colonization.
lyrics
Crazy about that pretty girl
She never let me have a chance
I thought she had starry eyes
Didn't know how much so
So surprised at her invite
answered yes on the spot
"Would you want to go with me
and join a Martian colony?"
AIN'T NO PETS ALLOWED ON MARS
DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR YOUR GUITARS
GET YOUR SHOTS, TAKE YOUR PILLS
CALL YOUR LAWYER, SIGN YOUR WILL
Gave away all I had
Hardly said one good-bye
I dreamed about making love
In one-third our gravity
When she woke up from deep sleep
She had a crush on Captain Steve
Now for sure my bubble's burst
Countless miles from the Earth
AIN'T NO PETS ALLOWED ON MARS
DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR YOUR GUITARS
GET YOUR SHOTS, TAKE YOUR PILLS
CALL YOUR LAWYER, SIGN YOUR WILL
When you cry in outer space
Tears don't fall down your face
They float around all about
Slow motion water spout
Gave away all I had
Thought I signed up for a dream
Chased a woman unto Mars
Red planet broken heart.
AIN'T NO PETS ALLOWED ON MARS
DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR YOUR GUITARS
GET YOUR SHOTS, TAKE YOUR PILLS
CALL YOUR LAWYER, SIGN YOUR WILL
