David Bowie - Life On Mars?
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
|
Now she walks
|
Through her sunken dream
|
To the seat with the clearest view
|
And she's hooked to the silver screen
|
But the film is a saddening bore
|
For she's lived it ten times or more
|
She could spit in the eyes of fools
|
As they ask her to focus on
|
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?
|
It's on Amerika's tortured brow
|
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
|
Now the workers have struck for fame
|
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
|
See the mice in their million hordes
|
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
|
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
|
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
|
But the film is a saddening bore
|
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
|
It's about to be writ again
|
As I ask you to focus on
|
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?
