Mars is For Lovers

And now, a murder ballad

She stands in the shadows on the red plain
Looking for an answer but she doesn't know his name
How much time has passed on this distant place
Living by the lights from the stars in outer space

She sees him for the first time, doesn't even have a line
It's then that they lock eyes like never before
They circle each other, eyes fixed on one another
Funny how much life has changed without phones or bars

Mars is for lovers
Mars if for lovers
'Cause you know when you have a million dollars to say that you live on Mars you take Whatever love is thrown your way

They live in a crater survivin' off the water
Found in just one stream of a man made reservoir
Their love is lit my light emitted solely by the sun
They're nearly out of oxygen but in the eyes of love they've won

They officiate a Martian marriage, a dune rover is their carriage
And consummate their affair in the arms of the air
Then suddenly they breathe one last breath, eyes grow wide and heart bereft
And then alas all that's left is bones with soul no more

Mars is for lovers
Mars is for lovers
'Cause you know when you have a million dollars to say that you live on Mars you take Whatever love is thrown your way
You take whatever love is thrown your way
