One minute, it was winter
We blinked and saw it melt
Snow fell into steam
Returning love we once had felt
The words passed around on the lips of the plain, here and gone before the sun set that night…
Rocket summer
Rocket summer, oh
Rocket summer
Rocket summer
One minute, we were frozen
Our hearts had turned to stone
The rain camе all at once
And we knew wе weren’t alone
The warm desert air took the frost from our eyes, with a flooding of reverence and fright…
Rocket summer
Rocket summer, oh
Rocket summer
Rocket summer
Seven million miles, rocket fever
We’d like somebody to shake our hands
Never before has a man from earth
Taken a step in the Martian sands
Do you believe me? Here’s how it is—
What are you waiting for, what do you want?
Everything’s in order, even the agreement
How do you mean, agreement for what?
This is no celebration
No party, no earthly delegation
They locked the door, do you realize
Darkened skin and golden eyes
They’re not the Earth Men
They shower us with adoration
But think we’re some hallucination
A Martian trick of the mind
There is no future for our kind
No future for Earth Men
Rocket summer
Rocket summer, oh
Rocket summer
Rocket summer
