Stock up on food and oxygen then count down to ignition
There are voices on the radio orders from mission control
With a heart of steel and silicon
The engine fires and then I'm gone
Hotter than the sun hotter than the sun
Start my ascent at the count of one like a bullet shot from a gun
Hotter than the sun hotter than the sun
Radar follows
Your blip as you float there
Lighter than air
There's nothing left this side of mars
I've seen it all I've gone so far
Hotter than the sun hotter than the sun
Land this tin can on the rusty ground
Be the only man when I set her down
Hotter than the sun hotter than the sun
