I used to rove this world
I would go when NASA gave the word
Now I spend all of my days alone
Stuck on the planet I used to roam
I used to roll my wheels
Exploring anywhere that appeals
Listen as the crowd would cheer
We’re rooting for you, there’s no need for fear
One minute I held the keys
Making scientific discoveries
Then something happened I couldn’t withstand
Thanks clouds of dust and piles of sand
I hear those satellite signals pinging
The sound of a new lonely sol beginning
I used to do science, exciting and grand
NASA’s explorer in a foreign land
For some reason I can’t explain
That time has now gone by, at least Spirit’s here with me The rover Opportunity
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew over the dust that locked me in
Need solar power that never comes
JPL couldn’t believe how quiet I’d become
JPL tried to wake
Me with new songs every day
Just a rover waiting all alone
Oh, will somebody please take me home?
I hear those satellite signals pinging
The sound of a new lonely sol beginning
I used to do science, exciting and grand
NASA’s explorer in a foreign land
For some reason I can’t explain
Living on Mars now causes me pain
At least Spirit’s here with me
The rover Opportunity
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I hear those satellite signals pinging
The sound of a new lonely sol beginning
I used to do science, exciting and grand
NASA’s explorer in a foreign land
For some reason I can’t explain
Living on Mars now causes me pain
At least Spirit’s here with me
The rover Opportunity
