lyrics

Olympus Mons

If you can choose you put your roots down
Where there is sun and the water flows
Ah but the world is so crowded now
Tangled up like a garden hose

If it's your dream to lift your branches
Up to the sky then fling your arms
But what's your plan B when the lightning flashes?
Sing up for that one-way trip to Mars

And I'm on that list and it's not like jury duty at all
It's like the Maid of the Mist in the roar of Niagara Falls
If I get picked I'm gonna climb Olympus Mons

If you forget your roots and branches
And how the water makes them grow
The sun's going to be there to remind you
Up in that rusty sky alone

If you can't find your place in this world
And there's no room for you beneath the stars
You can ascend while you're still living
Sign up for that one-way trip to Mars

And I'm on that list and it's not like jury duty at all
It's like the Maid of the Mist in the roar of Niagara Falls
Have you ever been kissed in the shadow of Olympus Mons?
