Mission to Mars

Mayday, come in
My crew’s jettisoned
Or maybe they were never on board
Our instruments failed or our controls
Were dismantled by hand
One cannot be sure

Was malfunction certain before we had even left home?
Should I’ve recognized the relief in the eyes
Of the well-wishers waving goodbye?

Who’ll believe
I was lost on a
Mission to Mars?
Bеlieve
I was lost on a
Mission to Mars

Physics predicts
Objеcts are pulled helplessly
To greater heavenly forms
With heartless precision
For a dazzling collision
Unless you’re the lesser involved

My system humanely rerouted me safely beyond them all
To a vacant sector where no one can hector me
To explain where I went wrong

And believe
I was lost on a
Mission to Mars
Believe
I was lost on a
Mission to Mars

As my signal runs out
I have just enough power
To tell you I won’t get replies

So think of me as
Who I tried to be
Not who we learned
I was

If I can’t get love
I’ll take pity
If I can’t get either
What are other people for?

Who’ll believe
I was lost on a
Mission to Mars?
Believe
I was lost on a
Mission to Mars
