Life on Mars and Beyond
Right now there's a place we'd rather be,
Right now there's a world we'd rather see.
In our heads, when we're asleep,
Here's a dream we'd rather keep.
You find yourself in this new home,
In this new town of your very own,
Whereever it may be, whatever you may see,
Remember it's a song you played on your old lp.
Here you've found somewhere that you belong,
There you've always felt as if something's wrong,
And in her eyes, you see the blue sea,
Something that's never made you feel so free.
But what happens when they ask you to leave,
When the sounds in your head start to make you believe,
That your home's not here but somewhere out there,
And that you're only waiting in the cold night's air.
In your world, your life on Mars,
You feel free away from though bars,
But now you've been swalloed into the sea,
And you're traped in the world of 1973.
