Life On Mars? (david Bowie) Lyrics










  
 
 
 
 
 
 
  








It’s a god-awful small affair 
To the girl with the mousy hair

But her mother is yelling "No" 
And her daddy has told her to
go 
But her friends are nowhere to be seen 
Now she walks through her
sunken dream 
To the seats 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 America'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 os 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?
