A simple fear to wash you away
An open mind canceled it today
A silent song that's in your words
A different taste that's in your mind

This is te life on Mars
This is te life on Mars

Mary was a different girl
Had a thing for astronauts
Mary was the type of girl
She always liked to play a lot

Mary was a holy girl
Father whet her appetite
Mary was the type of girl
She always liked to fall apart

Tell me did you see her face?
Tell me did you smell her taste?
Tell me what's the difference
Don't they all just look the same inside?
Buddha for Mary, here is comes

Mary was an acrobat
But still she couldn’t seem to breathe
Mary was becoming everything she didn’t want to be

Mary would hallucinate
And see the sky upon the wall
Mary was the type of girl
She always liked to fly

Tell me did you see her face?
Tell me did you smell her taste?
Tell me what's the difference
Don't they all just look the same inside?
Buddha for Mary, here is comes
Buddha for Mary, here is comes

This is the life on mars

He said, "Can you hear me, are you sleeping?"

He said, "Leave the politics to mad men"
She said, "I believe your lies"
He said, "There’s a paradise beneath me"
She said, "Am I supposed to bleed?"
He said, "You better pray to Jesus"
She said, "I don’t believe in god"
