Life on Mars? Lyrics - David Bowie

1 It's a God-awful small affair

2 To the girl with the mousy hair

3 But her mummy is yelling, "No!"

4 And her daddy has told her to go

5 But her friend is nowhere to be seen

6 Now she walks through her sunken dream

7 To the seat with the clearest view

8 And she's hooked to the silver screen

9 But the film is a sadd'ning bore

10 For she's lived it ten times or more

11 She could spit in the eyes of fools

12 As they ask her to focus on

13 Sailors fighting in the dance hall

14 Oh, man! Look at those cavemen go

15 It's the freakiest show

16 Take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy

17 Oh, man! Wonder if he'll ever know

18 Who's in the best-selling show

19 Is there life on Mars?

20 It's on America's tortured brow

21 That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow

22 Now the workers have struck for fame

23 'Cause Lennon's on sale again

24 See the mice in their million hordes

25 From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads

26 Rule Britannia is out of bounds

27 To my mother, my dog, and clowns

28 But the film is a sadd'ning bore

29 'Cause I wrote it ten times or more

30 It's about to be writ again

31 As I ask you to focus on

32 Sailors fighting in the dance hall

33 Oh, man! Look at those cavemen go

34 It's the freakiest show

35 Take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy

36 Oh, man! Wonder if he'll ever know

37 Who's in the best-selling show

38 Is there life on Mars?
