From the recording Overtime on Mars

Lyrics

[Intro]
Beep beep beep
Clock in
Beep beep beep
Clock in again
[Verse 1]
Wake up red, the sky is red
Red dust living in my bed
Punch the card at a quarter to eight
Boss says hurry, the rocket’s late
Drilling rocks for a company store
Twenty craters, then twenty more
Postcard says “Wish you were here”
I am here, that’s the whole idea
[Chorus]
Overtime on Mars (hey!)
Working for a vacation
Overtime on Mars (hey!)
Lunch break on a space station
I just wanna see the stars
Not the inside of these bars
Overtime on Mars
[Verse 2]
Oxygen comes with a fee
Breathing on the company
Tried to quit, but where’s the door
Forty million miles or more
Robots got a union now
They take weekends anyhow
I got a helmet and a grin
Itadakimasu, dig in
[Chorus]
Overtime on Mars (hey!)
Working for a vacation
Overtime on Mars (hey!)
Lunch break on a space station
I just wanna see the stars
Not the inside of these bars
Overtime on Mars
[Lounge Breakdown]
Picture me on a beach chair
Blue ocean, salty air
Little umbrella in my drink
Nobody asking what I think
[Chant]
Clock in, clock out
What’s it all about
Clock in, clock out
Let me out, let me out
[Chorus]
Overtime on Mars (hey!)
Working for a vacation
Overtime on Mars (hey!)
Lunch break on a space station
I just wanna see the stars
Not the inside of these bars
Overtime on Mars
[Outro]
Beep beep beep
Clock out
Beep beep beep
Just kidding, clock in
