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 mil?s to Mars
It doesn't seem so far away (yes, it does)
And I wanna, I wanna b? 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
