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 play a lot
Mary was a holy girl
Father whet 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?
Buddha for Mary, here it comes
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?
Buddha for Mary, here it comes
Buddha for Mary, here it comes
This is the life on Mars
This is the life on Mars
This is the life on Mars
(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"
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 a lot
Mary was a holy girl
Father whet her appetite
Mary was the type of girl
She always liked to fall apart
Buddha for Mary, here it comes
Buddha for Mary, here it comes
Buddha for Mary, here it comes
Here it comes
