Barbra Streisand Life On Mars song lyrics

It's a god-awful small affair

To the girl with the mousy hair

But her mother is yelling "No"

And her daddy has told her to go

But her friend is nowhere to be seen

As 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 For she's lived it ten times or more

She could spit in the eyes of fools

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?

It's on America's tortured brow

Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow

Now the workers have struck for fame

'Cause Lennon's on sale again,

See the mice in their million hordes

From Ibeza 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 before

It's about to be writ again

As I ask you 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?
