Life On Mars? Lyrics - Hunky Dory - David Bowie

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 

Now 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 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 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 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?
