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 whats the difference
Dont they all just look the same inside?
See her face, smell her taste
Whats the difference?
Dont they all just look the same inside?

Mary was an acrobat
But still she couldnt seem to breathe
Mary was becoming everything she didnt 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 whats the difference
Dont 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

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, "Theres a paradise beneath me"
She said, "Am I supposed to bleed?"
He said, "You better pray to Jesus"
She said, "I dont 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 whats the difference
Dont they all just look the same inside?
See her face, smell her taste
Whats the difference?
Dont they all just look the same inside?
