About Album

“I Don’t Wanna Live on Mars,” declares Ziggy in the first single of his fifth solo studio album, Fly Rasta. The conceptual album raises awareness about the environment, conveying a unified message across the song, artwork, and video. “Fly Rasta is a little futuristic for me in that it tests the limits of traditional reggae musically while lyrically I’m writing a lot in these ten songs about overcoming obstacles.” Pushing boundaries to reinvent and evolve the artistry, Ziggy Marley brings Dave Cooley for co-production while featuring Sharon and Cedella Marley for additional vocals. Fly Rasta won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in February 2015.

Available Lyrics

I don't wanna live on Mars
I don't wanna drive space cars
I just wanna be with you
And do the things we do
Don't want to escape to the moon
Even if the world went boom
I just want to be with you
And do the right things to you

You give me everything I need
You're my garden, you're my breeze
Let me get down, and thank you please
Hey, let me lay here for a while
'Cause you're beauty makes me high
If you cry then I will cry, yeah
Let me make one thing clear
Nothing can compare
Your love is the blue sky
Your love is a butterfly

I don't want to live on Mars
I don't want to drive space cars
I just want to be with you
And do the things we do
Don't want to escape to the moon
Even if the world went boom
I just want to be with you
And do the right things to you

Oh, good karma you're my queen
Precious things my eyes have seen
Sweetest place I've ever been
You make me feel just like a king
I'll never leave you for that girl
Oh, my darling you're my world
That witch called winter is so mean
Summers that I've never seen
They say I'm love crazy, love crazy, yeah

I don't want to live on Mars
I don't want to drive space cars
I just want to be with you
And do the things we do
Don't want to escape to the moon
Even if the world went boom
I just want to be with you
And do the right things to you

Yeah
Can't take the heat, turn down the fire
Can't swim, don't tempt the waters
Believe what you want, this is my point of view
I wanna be cool, so let me get through to you

I don't want to live on Mars
I don't want to drive space cars
I just want to be with you
And do the things we do
Don't want to escape to the moon
Even if the world went boom
I just want to be with you
And do the right things to you

I don't want to live on Mars
I don't want to drive space cars
I just want to be with you
And do the things we do
Don't want to escape to the moon
Even if the world went boom
I just want to be with you
And do the right things to you
