Sheep's Power - Man on Mars Lyrics

The most important choice I've made in my life
The ultimate thrill we never can get
I left my children and I left my wife
I gave up my dog, and I sold my Corvette

One day that I was reading the newspaper
They were looking for some astronauts
After many years of extensive training
I was so happy, I was dreaming

Cos they said « You're the man »
Oh my son, I'm the lucky One
A one way trip to Mars
Thus, no return to Earth

I am the captain on board
With a crew of three
Confined in the spacecraft
During the seven month trip

Cos they said « You're the man »
« You will be the first one »
A one way trip to Mars
Don't expect to go back to Earth

Now, we go round the Sun
I can see in the distance
Mars the Red Planet
Our new place, our new home.

Is there any sense?
Did it ever cross your mind?
No one in front of you
And nothing behind

This will not be easy
If relatively spacious
In and out our living units
The days will be arduous

With the outside temperature
Minus one hundred twenty five
And sometimes the solar storms
Oh come on man, you will survive

Now, I'm a lucky man
I'm dancing with the stars
I will be the first one
To set my feet on Mars

Cos they said « You're the man »
« You will be the first one »
A one way trip to Mars
And no return to Earth

Cos they said « You're the man »
Oh my son, I'm the chosen One
A one way trip to Mars
But, no return to Earth

Oh, no return to Earth
One way trip to Mars
Oh, no return to Earth
No, no return to Earth
