lyrics
There's trouble on my shuttle
The thrusters both are toast
Engine won't stop whinin'
The fuel cells gave up the ghost
The crew is slowly starving
I can't tell if all is lost
I'm callin' on the holy host
Because our only hope
Is to crash land onto Mars
So brace yourself for impact
Through the iron dust I'll fly
And if we survive the wreck
There's only one thing left
I gotta do before I die
I want to take in the view from the summit of Olympus Mons
Then I'll know there ain't a river in the universe I can't cross
And I'll show all 13 worlds
How I survived famine, fire and frost
I'll look down at that rubble
That once was my shuttle
And float off the edge
Like a feather
on the reddish dust
When the aircraft touched the surface
I could feel the impact in my blood
Landed like a skipping stone
Then we were all alone
On the fourth rock from the sun
The first mate says I'm crazy
She's working on a plan to take us home
Me I gotta save my breath
I got a date with death
So I'd better head out alone
The Tharsis bulge by rover
Then I hiked up 13 miles of hell
Jupiter was shining bright
But when I saw the light
There was no one to hear me yell...
I'm here to take in the view from the summit of Olympus Mons
Now I know there ain't a river in the universe I can't cross
And I showed all 13 worlds
How I survived famine, fire and frost
As I leapt off the canyon
I heard my companion
Captain, come on back
We got her running...
And we're ready to launch
But I just couldn't miss the view from the summit of Olympus Mons
I'm passing through the only river in the universe I ain't crossed
Have the first mate tell the world
How we survived famine, fire and frost
Strap into my shuttle
Fly straight back towards Hubble,
Set sail for home and pray…
That you don't get lost
The thrusters both are toast
Engine won't stop whinin'
The fuel cells gave up the ghost
The crew is slowly starving
I can't tell if all is lost
I'm callin' on the holy host
Because our only hope
Is to crash land onto Mars
So brace yourself for impact
Through the iron dust I'll fly
And if we survive the wreck
There's only one thing left
I gotta do before I die
I want to take in the view from the summit of Olympus Mons
Then I'll know there ain't a river in the universe I can't cross
And I'll show all 13 worlds
How I survived famine, fire and frost
I'll look down at that rubble
That once was my shuttle
And float off the edge
Like a feather
on the reddish dust
When the aircraft touched the surface
I could feel the impact in my blood
Landed like a skipping stone
Then we were all alone
On the fourth rock from the sun
The first mate says I'm crazy
She's working on a plan to take us home
Me I gotta save my breath
I got a date with death
So I'd better head out alone
The Tharsis bulge by rover
Then I hiked up 13 miles of hell

But when I saw the light
There was no one to hear me yell...
I'm here to take in the view from the summit of Olympus Mons
Now I know there ain't a river in the universe I can't cross

How we survived famine, fire and frost
Strap into my shuttle
Fly straight back towards Hubble,
Set sail for home and pray…
That you don't get lost
