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
