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
