The Place We Call Mars

There she lay on the hospital floor
Blood on her face and spikes in her mind
Everyone knew she could take no more
As she ran screaming with death by her side
The window was broken and smoke trickled in
Along with the spiders and smells
How did I know where the end might begin
When the story was so hard to tell?
The story was so hard to tell

You can't mend a mind
But you can mend a face
I'm last in the line
To visit the place
The place we call Mars
The place we call Mars
The place we call Mars

With her hands in her hair, she swept in and ran
Into the blankets of fumes
What could I do except give my love
To the man who entered my room?
There was no answer, my mind was amazed
At how the King sat and cried
Upon the cloud was a head with no face
At least the good men died
At least the good men died

You can't mend a mind
But you can mend a face
I'm last in the line
To visit the place
The place we call Mars
The place we call Mars
The place we call Mars

At last we rested in shelters of tin
Down by the shopping parade
How do we know where the end might begin
As the night turned into the day?
It seems so long since the last men fell
For the sake of being alive
The hospital stands and it's just as well
As the wound is still in my mind
The wound is still in my mind

You can't mend a mind
But you can mend a face
I'm last in the line
To visit the place
The place we call Mars
The place we call Mars
The place we call Mars
The place we call Mars
The place we call Mars
The place we call Mars
The place we call Mars
