"Big Red"

SUBJECT: "I sang about the days of Martian terraformation" - Frank in the press kit for the album.

Yeah, as Frank said, it's a song about terraforming Mars. In simpler terms, making Mars like Earth; changing it into a livable place by transforming characteristics of the landscape.

LYRICS:
Have you heard about big red? / They even bought a beebread rig / To help the flowers in the mean space / They're trying to make this place green / Hope the bees will take away the the storm / Hope the trees will take away the storm / Don't you know how this whole thing started / There was a crowd and then we parted / Don't know if I'll ever go back / It's a long way across all of this black / Here I am in my bucket today / In the middle / Here I am in my bucket today / In the middle / They got a mule they call Sal / Bulldozing up canal walls / They're gonna tap that icecap too / When they do they're gonna make that green map blue / The weather is finally getting warm / And the weather is really getting warm / Don't you know how this whole thing started / There was a cloud and then it parted / Don't know if I'll ever go back / That's how I felt when I left that tarmac

LIVE: oh yeah

ACOUSTIC: i think so
