Analysis of Martian Marching (2015)
ranking the rovers, over and over,
jerking down the ravines, searching for frozen H2O.
just like any old four leaf clover,
but just go with my friends, who can walk on snow.
we jetted the Stars and Stripes on the moon,
ancient varied history, now we strive for starred dreams.
and just wish before a human lands on a Mars it could be a goon,
and here I am just hanging out in gyms hanging from beams.
