Life on Mars - David Bowie

[Verse 1]
        
It's a god-awf

              
ul small affai

     
r
            
To the girl wi

              
th the mousy h

    
air
       
But her mummy 

is yelling "No

"
             
And her daddy 

              
has told her t

     
o go
         
But her friend

              
 is nowhere to

         
 be seen
            
Now she walks 

              
through her su

           
nken dream
           
To the seat wi

              
th the cleares

       
t view
              
And she's hook

              
ed to the silv

          
er screen

[Pre-Chorus 1]
           
But the film i

              
s a saddening 

     
bore
           
For she's live

              
d it ten times

       
 or more
           
She could spit

              
 in the eyes o

         
f fools
        
As they ask he

r to focus on

[Chorus]
      
Sailors fighti

ng in the danc

e hall
      
Oh man! Look a

             
t those caveme

     
n go
              
It's the freak

          
iest show
              
Take a look at

      
 the Lawman

Beating up the

 wrong guy
      
Oh man! Wonder

             
 if he'll ever

      
 know
              
He's in the be

w
              
Is there life

Now the worker

See the mice i

From Ibeza to
