Houston we have lift off
All systems check
We've left the atmosphere

I miss the earth
And I love my wife
It all looks like a blur from here

I don't know how long I'll be
I'm lost in time without a trace
Turn on your T.V and you will see
That it's hard to be a man in space

Houston we have touch down
And everything is A-O.K
I found some rocks
I'd like to give my son
If I wasn't so far away

Houston Brian says he feels like a fool
Because he missed his daughters birth
Here in space were jolly giants
And two normal people down on earth

Houston we have a problem
If you're hearing this it's much too late
We've lost one engine
And the powers gone
It seems with destiny we have a date

Tell my wife I'm sorry
That I won't be home tonight
One day soon I know he'll understand
Why I'm not there to turn off the light

Houston everything is fine
We found our place in the stars
We're really floating on air
And I think we're heading for Mars
