MARTIANS

Martians
We can live longer days and be lighter on our feet
Gravity sucks
It's not so extreme as it may seem
Mars is the fire in many dreams

Dear fellow space travelers
We could live here
Dear fellow Earth dwellers
We could live here

We could live here free from our world affairs
Conquer our barbaric ways (Say goodbye to violent days)
Mars is calling "I am the God of War"
But we could choose to live in peace

Earthlings
Orbiting the Earth 'til we're blue in the face
Bureaucracy sucks
Nothing left behind, it will serve to remind
Butterflies on Mars and trees on the Moon

We are meant to be
Space faring
Mars is calling me

ABOUT THE MARTIANS ALBUM:

The Martians album marks the end of an era for ZIA, the time spent on the East Coast. Elaine was commissioned by the NASA Haughton-Mars Project to film the “Martians” music video (link below), with mission of inspiring the dream of humans living on Mars. The rest of the album is split between positive spacey messages and songs about loves lost. Plenty of hard-earned emotion is packed into this CD which is unusual for ZIA.
