Life On Mars?

[Verse 1]

It's a god-awful small affair

To the girl with the mousy hair

But her mummy is yelling "no"

And her daddy has told her to go

But her friend is nowhere to be seen

As she walks through her sunken dream

To the seat with the clearest view

And she’s hooked to the silver screen

[Pre-Chorus 1]

But the film is a saddening bore

'Cause she's lived it ten times or more

And it’s about to be lived again

As they ask her to focus on

[Chorus]

Sailors fighting in the dance hall

Oh man! Look at those cavemen go

It's the freakiest show

Take a look at the lawman

Beating up the wrong guy

Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know

He's in the best selling show

Is there life on Mars?

[Verse 2]

It's on America's tortured brow

That 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 Broads

Now rule Britannia is out of bounds

To my mother, my dog, and clowns

[Pre-Chorus 2]

But the film is a saddening bore

Because I wrote it ten times or more

It's about to be writ again

As I ask you to focus on

[Chorus]

Sailors fighting in the dance hall

Oh man! Look at those cavemen go

It’s the freakiest show

Take a look at the lawman

Beating up the wrong guy

Oh man! Wonder if he’ll ever know

He's in the best selling show

Is there life on Mars?
