Well it turns out I was writing and singing abut Mars since the mid eighties :-) and I didn't have a clue really but the band was cookin'.... I'd certainly never heard of Captain Randy Kramer, Andrew Basagio or the like... and I had yet to dream the Pink Floyd line "and if the band your in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon"
MOONGLIDING ON MARS
Turn off the lights and the blender
open your mind and surrender
we could be lost way up in the stars
let's climb above all the fences
we'll both give in to our senses
just you and me
MOONGLIDING ON MARS
Let's get away from the pressure
anticipating the pleasure
make up for time we spent apart
we'll both give in to our senses
drop all our foolish defenses
just you and me
MOONGLIDING ON MARS
let's climb above all the fences
anticipating the senses
make up for time we spent apart
turn off the lights and the blender
open your mind and surrender
we could be lost
MOONGLIDING ON MARS
