rah band in 85'te çıkmış en ünlü parçası. dünyalı bir bacının mars'taki eşiyle konuşmasını anlatıyor, derken hat kesiliyor, araya jedi kılıklı operatör giriyor ama ne fayda... bugün için sözler azıcık komik kaçsa da, müthiş sesli solistin umutsuzca 'next year, next year' çığırışları insanın yüreğini acıtıyor.

"good evening. this is the intergalactic operator. can i help you?"
"yes. i'm trying to reach flight commander p.r. johnson, on mars, flight 2-4-7"
"very well, hold on please [beeping] you're through!"
"thank you operator!"

verse 1 :

hi darlin' ! how are you doing ?
hey baby, where're your sleeping ?
oh i'm sorry, but i've been really missing you !

hi darlin' ! how's the weather?
say baby, is that cold better now ?
oh i'm sorry, is there someone there with you??

bridge:

ooooh...since you went away, there's nothing goin' right !
i just can't sleep alone at night... i'm not ashamed to say
i badly need a friend...or it's the end.

chorus:

now, when i look at the cloud's across the moon.
here in the night i just hope and pray that soon.
oh baby, you'll hurry home to me.

verse 2 :

hi darlin', the kids say they love you.
hey baby, is everything fine with you?
please forgive me, but i'm trying not to cry...

bridge :

ooooh...i've had a million different lovers on the phone.
but i just stayed right here at home.
i don't think that i can take it anymore this crazy war.

chorus

"i'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but we are
experiencing violent storm conditions in the asteriod belt at this
time. we may lose this valuable deep space communication link.
please, be as brief as possible.
thank you."

bridge

or it's...or it's..."hello?" "hello operator?"
" yes, we've lost the connection! could you try again please?"
-"i'm sorry, but i'm afraid we've lost contact with mars 2-4-7
at this time."

chorus repeat 3 times while saying:

"ok. thank you very much...
i'll...i'll try again next year...next year...next year...next year..."
