Life On Mars
by: Tino CasalIt's a God awful small afair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mother is yelling "No"
And her fether has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
As she walks through her sunken dream
To she seat hith 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
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh! man look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take at 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 Amerikas 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
To my mother, my dog and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
Cause I wrote it ten times before
It's about to the writen 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 at look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh! man wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
