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 the life on mars



Mary was a different girl

Had a thing for astronauts

Mary was the type of girl

She always liked to fall apart

Mary was a holy girl

Finally wet 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?

See her face, smell her taste

What?s the difference?

Don?t they all just look the same inside?



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?

See her face, smell her taste

What?s the difference?

Don?t they all just look the same inside?



This is the life on mars



He said, "Can you here me, are you sleeping"

She said, "Will you rape me now?"

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"



Mary was a different girl

Had a thing for astronauts

Mary was the type of girl

She always liked to play god

Mary was a holy girl

Finally wet 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?

See her face, smell her taste

What?s the difference?

Don?t they all just look the same inside?



A simple fear to wash you away

An open mind cancelled it today
