Life On Mars? (Live at the Elysée Montmartre, Paris on 14th October, 1999) - David Bowie

Lyrics by：David Bowie

Composed by：David Bowie

It's a God awful small affair

To the girl with the mousy hair

And her mummy is yelling no

And her father has told her to go

But her friend is nowhere to be seen

And 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

'Cause she's lived it ten times or more

She fought to be lifted gain

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

Son America's tortured brow

Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow

And 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 they ask me 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
