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 (2x)

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
Father 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?

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
whats the difference?
dont they all just look the same inside?

This is the life on mars (3x)
This is the life

He said, "Can you hear 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."
(this is the life on mars)
She said, "Am I supposed to bleed?"
(this is the life on mars)
He said, "You better pray to Jesus."
(this is the life on mars)
She said, "I don't believe in God."
