When will you be leaving

Ein ungeduldiges Abschiedslied für Elon Musk auf seinem Weg zum Mars.

[INSTRUMENTAL INTRO] [SPACE SOUND EFFECTS]

[VERSE]
pack up your troubles 
and fly to mars
sounds like a plan

the world has been waiting
for the one you are
but now the waiting ends

[VERSE]
bring mankind up higher
conquer the stars
do what ever you can

to boldly cross the border
to seek for new wars
to be the future superman

[CHORUS]
when will you be leaving?
(the world) can't wait to see you go
when will you be leaving?
everybody wants to know.
when will you be leaving?
across the great beyond
when will you be leaving?
(the world) can't wait to see you go!


[VERSE]
Everbody's watching
the countdown starts 
the crowd is shouting: [SHOUT] TEN!! 
(nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two...)

[SHOUT] ONE!!
your big fat rocket spits
great balls of fire
will it fly?

[CHORUS]
when will you be leaving?
(the world) can't wait to see you go
when will you be leaving?
everybody wants to know.
when will you be leaving?
across the great beyond
when will you be leaving?
(the world) can't wait to see you go!

[GUITAR SOLO]

[INTERLUDE] [BACKGROUND VOCALS]
(Will you see angels?)
(will you be golden stardust?)
(or will you just stay down and cry?)
(Will you see angels?)
(will you be golden stardust?)
(or will you just stay down and cry?)

[VERSE]
But finally you lift off (HOOO-RAYYY!!)
And everybody 's cheering
as you go away.

we'll be waving good bye
we'll sing and dance 
(He 's gone!)

[CHORUS]
when will you be leaving?
(the world) can't wait to see you go
when will you be leaving?
everybody wants to know.
when will you be leaving?
across the great beyond
when will you be leaving?
(the world) can't wait to see you go!

[OUTRO] [Repeat and Fade]
everybody 's cheering
as you go away.
we'll be waving good bye
we'll sing and dance 
(He 's gone!)
