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
