Might as Well Be on Mars

[Verse 1] The city streets are wet with rain tonight The taxi driver swerves from lane to lane A lonely guitar man playin' down the hall Midnight blues comin' through the walls I tried to call you on the telephone I left it off the hook Just to hear it ring You told me you were better off alone I never knew that tears could sting [Chorus 1] I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars Lookin' down at all the cars I can see you In the window of your favorite corner bar But to reach you is just too far And I might as well be on Mars [Verse 2] The city seems so old, and grey, and beat It closes in and makes me wanna suffocate And you just live across the street But that's a billion miles away [Chorus 2] You've turned my world into a dark and lonely place Like a planet lost in space, my light is fadin' I'd cross the universe to be right where you are But I'm right in your backyard And I might as well be on Mars [Bridge] I might as well be on Mars, and you can't see me I might as well be the Man on the Moon, you can't hear me Oh, can you feel me so close? And yet so far Baby, I might as well be on Mars [Pre-Chorus] Baby, I can't fly If I could I'd come down to ya Maybe I should try [Chorus 1] I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars Lookin' down at all the cars I can see you In the window of your favorite corner bar But to reach you is just too far And I might as well be on Mars [Outro] I might as well be on Mars, you can't see me I might as well be the Man on the Moon, you can't hear me Oh, can you feel me so close? And yet so far Baby, I might as well be on Mars Yeah, I might as well be on Mars Might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars Might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars I might as well be on Mars
