Miss Mars

lyrics

the landlord came and cleaned me out -
what were forty million miles supposed to change?
i drove to rocknest to crash on your couch
and found you packing up a suitcase

i know i really oughta be proud but you didn't even write

but i'm keeping my composure
i know you hate it when men cry
there's no time to win you over
and this time i know your goodbye is bye for good

so don't go far
and stay dry, miss mars!

i helped you pack your freeze-dried fruit
and masks for respiration
codes to a conapt past the kuiper belt
small bills to bribe armed guards at the solar stations

and pictures from our olympus mons vacation
to get some fresh fake air! the joke's on us
in this land of ice and honey
you didn't brave the last frontier to choke on dust

and even if you came back home i'd be 99 years old

so i'm keeping my composure
i know you hate me when i cry
there's no time to think it over
and this time your goodbye is bye for good

so say hi to the stars
and stay dry, miss mars!
