Life Under The Olympus Mons

by Ken Dolman

1.
On a bed of Roman candles they headed out to mars like a Hollywood movie cliche life Imitiates art they were just children when they moved to the Hawaiian volcano now they’re making babies on Mars all systems are go we’re traveling out now and we’re settling down at the foot of the Olympus Mons and we’re figuring out only heaven helps us now that’s all that’s around they arrived when the pioneers left to go back to their lives Under cellophane domes Eden had sprung teeming with Martian life but by then the Earth was too hot they came back to Mars with their wives like a Hollywood movie cliche art imitates life we’re traveling out now and we’re settling down at the foot of the Olympus Mons and we’re figuring out only heaven helps us now that’s all that’s around But we still do a lot of things We used to do as Earthlings

We once were alive less longer Were once were a lot less stronger We once wore a heavy head We once swore we would never Get the chip We’d survive here without it But now that we’re here, now that we’re here I’d like to make this absolutely clear I Like it Here We once were badly trained For the world outside our Digital Domain We once had Our very own brains We once swore we would never Get the chip We’d survive here without it But now that we’re here, now that we’re here I’d like to make this absolutely clear I Like it Here 3x Without the pain I believe them when they say That life is easier today

she sadly said I've had it up to here with the modern world.orld.orld.orld.orld I’m badly bled from what started with a radio, the radio I want to unplug come off the drugs become a kid again we could’ve known better way back when Mars will go the way the Earth went we're just floating around the sun mama says no you can’t survive without your wire And I don’t want you to go we need here within the video, the video It's a silly con on this dying rock she’s spinning on we should’ve known better way back when mars will go the way the earth went we're just floating around the sun Hey ma' what did we need water for? Grandma says there was a lot before.

even though my child’s a martian she still survives on oxygen 2x I accept the stranger miracles of biospheres and digitals but I miss the world that I can see through amplified telescopery there never was a plan to get us out of here the mission calls for a hundred years we can always plug in to the screens and remember the beautiful things even though my child’s a martian she still survives on oxygen I accept the stranger miracle of all the world in digital but no matter how real it seems the water’s not wet in the streams we can always plug in to the screens to try and remember all the beautiful things

when the aliens took over the world they killed off all the Martians put the Earthings in control the humans hate each other and were pulled into a hole while they were told to follow gold to be afraid of growing old & to feel however they’ve been told the humans Found that they were way out of place caught within a vacuum between time and space the turbulence was terrible and out here they did not exist just Bytes and Bits, just Bytes and Bits all your life I think you knew what the world had in store for you to follow gold to be afraid of growing old and to feel however You’ve been told when the aliens took over the world they killed off all the humans gave the Martians control they were warned to love each other or be cast into the hole or so we’ve been told that’s what we’ve been told all your life I think you knew to follow gold and to be afraid of growing old and the enemy coming from another Galaxy
