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
as 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
CHORUS:
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
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 Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Brittania 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
CHORUS:
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

About this song: Life On Mars
"Life on Mars?" is a song by David Bowie first released in 1971 on the album Hunky Dory and also released as a single. The song—which BBC Radio 2 later called "a cross between a Broadway musical and a Salvador Dalí painting"—featured guest piano work by keyboardist Rick Wakeman. When released as a single in 1973, it reached #3 in the UK and stayed on the chart for thirteen weeks. The song re-entered the UK charts at #55 over 30 years later, largely because of its use in the original British television series Life on Mars. Read more on Last.fm.
