Moving To Mars

Tired of the same old scenes around here. Thought hey im gonna explore space. Introduce Little space dudes to bad habbits nudie mags and maybe share a beer. Yeah it'll take some getting use to anti gravity bars. Pack up the whiskey and of course the kids honey cause were moving to mars. People kinda look at me like my mind did slip. just cause im going round collecting cans. Hell with what else are ya supposed use to build a spaceship. I made a few changes it runs of corn whiskey instead of rocket fuel. You might think im crazy. but when my home made rocket takes off it'll be cool. Say goodbye kids to your prick grandfather Bert. Hey darlin from up here I can see down your shirt. It's three seconds to lift off people ya might wanna move your houses as well as cars. Cause lord knows whats gonna happen. in my attempt to move to mars. Its time for lift off crap honey do ya mind lighting fuse. Hey kids after this maybe we'll get a reality show. I mean if we dont die that would only make the local news. The homade rocket ship rattle and shook. I knew i forgot something I mean it's a minor thing. Steering wheels are overrated guess I should have got a book. And as it lifted off into the sky. I screamed like a little girl. I forgot I was affraid to fly. Yes I kinda fell short on my quest to the stars. cause i crash landed in New Jersy. Well kids sorry but Atlantic City is probaly a bit more fun for daddy that is. So much for moving to Mars.
