Lyrics First Man on Mars - Alex Edwards

my buddy will be the first man on mars
that's good enough for him
see I did never want to be at the front
with life 'is as it is
well I'll see you on saturday
I heard a father say by a broken home
where nobody spoke
from the plastic tomb to the plunging harpoon
oh what on earth could save you?
so my buddy calls me, with tears in his voice
he doesn't need to say
I say, "well I did never want, to be at the front"
he said, "well it's your lucky day"
well I'll see you on saturday
was all was left to say on the telephone
then nobody spoke
from my earthly tomb, I'll be plunging through
oh I guess I'll be gone soon
cos there was nothing to leave behind
would you look into my soul and tell me you don't love me?
and I won't come home
I'm not sure if it's pink or red but I can throw away the line
see I did never want to be at the front but the view there is sublime
well, I'll see you on saturday
you heard the speaker say as we were comin' home
yeah, nobody spoke
in our metal tomb as we plunged into blue
I finally didn't miss you
cos there was nothing to leave behind
would you look into my soul, and tell me you don't love me?
and I won't come home
well I was the first man on mars
I don't know what it is
that makes me never want to be at the front
but I can tick mars off my list
