RiftRoamers Music - Ticket to Mars, performed by Persona Miranda Stone, Lyrics by myself. A tribute to the USC Capital and to our home system, where Earth is still fortified and inaccessible due to alien automatisms. Copyright 1991-2025: Mirco Adam [Verse 1] I got my ticket punched, I'm Mars-bound tonight, Through the thin red skies, under solar light. The Eagle’s wings are spread, she’s glidin’ so free, Chasin’ dreams in the stars, where I long to be. [Chorus] Oh, New Paris, I see your skyline gleam, White towers on red deserts, like a space-age dream. Palm trees sway where the winds run wild, Welcome home, oh, Martian child. [Verse 2] Captain’s voice comes through, smooth as the glide, “Twelve degrees and clear, it’s a perfect ride.” The Tharsis line to Ares, a shuttle to Jovian, Connections to the stars, the journey never ends. [Chorus] Oh, New Paris, I see your skyline gleam, White towers on red deserts, like a space-age dream. Palm trees sway where the winds run wild, Welcome home, oh, Martian child. [Bridge] The rumble fades as we touch the ground, Condensate steamin’, no other sound. The Martian wind sings a lonesome tune, Whisperin’ futures ‘neath a terraformed moon. [Chorus] Oh, New Paris, I see your skyline gleam, White towers on red deserts, like a space-age dream. Palm trees sway where the winds run wild, Welcome home, oh, Martian child. [Outro] You finally touched down, welcome to Mars, Where dreams are born under alien stars. The USC calls, the future’s in sight, I got my ticket to Mars, and I’m takin’ flight.
