"None Of The Above - It Sucks - 04 - I Need To Be On Mars" - Tony Mason (1994)
From the album "It Sucks"

I need to be on Mars
I need to be inside a piece of chocolate cake
I need to crush an ant hill with my feet
I need to throw the dice
I need to get a car
I need to hit return a couple thousand times
I need to find the things I lost while admiring all the things I found

Can you help me find the planet
Slightly farther from the sun than the one on which I'm breathing
Large amounts of filthy air

I need to blow my nose
I need to put my head inside the can
I need to spin around the room
I need to learn to fly
I need to sign my name On the dotted line
I need to breathe
I need to turn the page
I need to do it again and again and again

Will you help me find the planet which is slightly red in hue
When you compare it to the blue sky underneath the sun above

There are many things I need that I already seem to have
And some things that I have lost I've never had
Neither possessions or ideas, substantial, theoretical
I think the answer lies on Mars

I need to get away
I need to purge the anger from my heart
I need to get to the phone and I could use a long extended nap right now
I need to find the beat
I need to rhyme the rhyme with another rhyme
I need to find some time if I can only find the time

Can you help me find the planet roughly 50 million miles
From the mound on which I'm standing on right now
Can you point me to the planet with a slightly larger arm?
Does the longer yearly cycle match the planet which I live on now?
