The Flaming Lips Life On Mars lyrics

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

Now her friend are nowhere to be seen
So, 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
'Cause she wrote 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
Lennon's on sale again

See the mice in their million hordes
To Ibiza 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 they ask us 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?
