Red Planet Picnic

Skirmish: Space exploration (@lyricslinger)Liner Notes
Will we ever terraform Mars? Maybe it's better for Mars if we don't succeed in that, it will be another planet polluted by mankind...

Lyrics
Martian sand castles, built by robot hands
Oxygen factories grow like magic plants
Polar ice caps melt in the terraforming sun
Red dust turns to mud, our new world's just begun
Terraforming Mars, oh what a lark!
Picnic on Olympus Mons after dark
Deimos and Phobos dance in the sky
As we paint the red planet a new lullaby
Mushroom dome cities sprout from rusty ground
Magnetic umbrellas keep solar winds down
Potato farms flourish in Martian soil so red
While Earth-born butterflies flit overhead
Terraforming Mars, oh what a lark!
Picnic on Olympus Mons after dark
Deimos and Phobos dance in the sky
As we paint the red planet a new lullaby
Martian tea parties with Alice and the Hatter
Gravity's different, but does it really matter?
When you're terraforming dreams on a cosmic scale
Reality bends like a Dali-esque tale
:
Terraforming Mars, oh what a lark!
Picnic on Olympus Mons after dark
Deimos and Phobos dance in the sky
As we paint the red planet a new lullaby
Red planet blues turn to Martian mirth
As we bring a touch of madness from Earth

Because of some folks here at FAWM/5090, I've started listening to more prog-rock. So I absolutely love and am astounded by this song of yours.
