Life On Mars?
It's a god-awful small affair
For the girl with the mousy hair
And her mommy is yelling, "No!"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
And she walks in a sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked on the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
It's about to be lived again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh no! Look at those cavemen go!
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating on the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know?
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
And the workers have struck for fame
Because Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk roads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
For my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
For I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh no! Look at those cavemen go!
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating on the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
For the girl with the mousy hair
And her mommy is yelling, "No!"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
And she walks in a sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked on the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
It's about to be lived again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh no! Look at those cavemen go!
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating on the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know?
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
And the workers have struck for fame
Because Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk roads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
For my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
For I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh no! Look at those cavemen go!
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating on the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
