I wrote a note Addressed to my mother, short and sweet And it reads: I've got to go There's so much of life I haven't seen I swear there's a planet out there, a heavenly home Where I'll carve my name in the stone Where I can breathe in clean air There's no need for a show There's no wars fought for diamonds and gold So I'll be gone when you wake up tomorrow I'll be just another blip amongst the stars Had to pack light or I would bring you along Wish me luck on my long flight to Mars Wish me luck on my long flight to Mars Time will move slow Slow in this quiet empty sea A bird's eye view (ooh-ooh) My younger brother turning thirty-three Now he's older than me But I know there's somewhere out there Where I'll feel at home A place where the bluejays roam Yes, I know there's somewhere out there This world is so cold, I get tired of layin' here alone So I'll be gone when you wake up tomorrow I'll be just another blip amongst the stars Had to pack light or I would bring you along Wish me luck on my long flight to Mars Wish me luck on my long flight to Mars Wish me luck on my long flight to Mars
