Take this road, go westward
You and me
Ground zero in the desert
They've come to see something
Never seen so many cameras, all in one place

(As) I took the picture, she calls out
Hey Uncle Sam
Put a man on Mars
Put a man on Mars
Put a man on Mars

Ooh, they put a man on Mars
And everyone saw
And everything changed
And now everyone's saving
To leave the world behind
Flee the rising tide
Be the man on Mars

They're standing still in the city
You left me for
Playing that day on every screen
Do you think of me?
And now they're looking like the lucky ones

And everyone knows
And all those things in between us
Are nothing now
Addicted to running
We’re all just tryna find something
Lying in the gutter looking at the stars

They put a man on Mars
They put a man on Mars
They put a man on Mars

Ooh, they put a man on Mars
And everyone saw
And everything changed
Now everyone's saving
To leave the world behind

Flee the rising tide
Flee the fire and storm
Leave it all behind (drowned in the city)
They put a man on Mars (we’re left in the desert)
They said they'd put you there too, some day
One fine day
