Klaatu - Maybe I'll Move to Mars (Magentalane, 1981)


Me:
Talked to a friend one lonely day
Told me that he was going away
He's got to live some other place

Him:
I can't stay here another day
And to you I say
Tomorrow I leave for outer space
Maybe I'll move to Mars
Maybe I'll move to Mars

Me:
Naturally I was quite surprised
When I looked into his eyes
To see he was quite sincere

Him:
All that I have to say
Mars is not so far away
How we will get there is quite clear
Maybe I'll move to Mars
Maybe I'll move to Mars
One step closer to the stars
Maybe I'll move to Mars

Me:
How will we get there?
How will we get there?
I can't believe that what you say is true
And I can't leave
I've got too much to do

Him:
Oh we can get there, we have found a way
We're all prepared and we can leave today
Me and my friends have worked for years
And we have planned well, have no fears

Me:
How will we get there?
Him:
We have found a way
Me:
How will we get there?
Him:
We can leave today
Me and my friends have planned most properly
We have built a ship that floats on gravity

Me:
And then he turned and walked away
Can't tell you how I regret that day
I've not seen him for years

Him:
I sent a card today to my friend so far away
Having a nice time wish that you were here
Maybe I'll move to Mars
Maybe I'll move to Mars
One step closer to the stars
Maybe I'll move to Mars

A Routine Day - Klaatu (1978)

더이상 글쓰면 손 아픈 그룹 Klaatu의 명곡
뮤직비디오도 훌륭하다.

A Routine day (Sir Army Suit, 1978)


ps) Klaatu는 지구가 멈춘 날 (The Day the Earth Stood Still, 1951)에서 지구를 방문한 외계인이다.
2008년 작품말구.. 51년 작품 보는게 좋다.

It started off a routine day
I got through the morning in the usual way
I caught the bus on time
Good morning, Mr. Driver, drive
As I sat inside my overcoat I clutched my cane
And pressed my nose against the foggy window pane
Ho hum
The life I lead would even make a dead man yawn
Midday comes
I break for lunch
With my sandwich and a beer I go on a hunch
To the park where I hope to find
A little bit of peace of mind
As I sat there on a bench amidst the rodent race
I felt a strange sensation that without a trace appeared
But then as quickly disappeared again

So tell me what's the bloody point of playing the game
With so much to lose yet so little to gain
You sell your life away
Can't you see you're just a cog working like a dog
You trade your future for a dead-end job
That's full of routine days
Routine days

I race the clock to the end of my day
The paycheck in my pocket makes me feel okay
But was it worth the grind
Just to keep from falling behind
I stand here in the queue behind a foul cigar
My face discreetly buried in a book on Mars
Humdrum
And I'm waiting on the pier 'til Charon comes
