Life on Mars? Lyrics

It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mommy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to goBut 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 screenBut the film is a saddening bore
'Cause she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus onSailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest showTake 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 againSee the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clownsBut 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 onSailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest showTake 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?
