When I heard you do this song I was like wow that's really eerie and made me happy and it also made me sad
Who's the guy playing piano for you today?
This is Alf
Alf how you doing man?
[Ab] All right here.
We go now Alf and Aurora.
Yep are gonna perform life on Mars
Which is a great Bowie tune right you're a big Bowie fan.
Yes, I am all right although when you're 20
Who turned you on to Bowie your parents?
No I saw a music video.
Yeah, he's like in a weird clown
[Bbm] And I just [Gb] found him extremely [Ab] interesting
Magical all right [B] here.
We go.
This is [A] Aurora.
I'll shut up.
[Dbm]
[Db] [Gb]
[Bm]
[Bb]
[D]
[E] [A]
It's [Dbm] a god awful small [Db] affair
To [Gb] the girl with a mousy [Bm] head
But [Bb] her mom is yelling [D] no and [E] her dad is told to go
[A] But a [Dbm] friend is nowhere to be [Db] seen
No, she [Gb] walks through a sunken [Bm]
dream
to [Bb] the seat with a
clearest [D] view
And [E] she's hooked to the silver
[C] screen
But the [E] film is a saddening [Am] bore
And cuz [Bb] you've seen it ten times
Oh [F] she [A] could spit in the eyes of [Dm] fools
As [Eb] they ask her to focus on
[D]
Sailors
[G] Fighting in the dance [Bm] hall.
Oh
[Bb] Look at those cavemen [A] go
[Am] It's the [Em] freakiest show
[Bm] [Gm]
Oh
Take a [D] look at the
[G] Beating up the wrong [Bm] guy
Wonder [Bb]
if he'll ever [A] know [Am]
he's on the best-selling [Em]
show
[Gm]
Is there a life on
[Bm]
[Bb]
[D]
[Bm] [E]
[A] More
Is on [Dbm] America's tortured [Db] brow
Then [Gb] Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow [Bm] now
[Bb] The workers have struck for [D] fame
[E] Cuz Lenin's on sale again
[A] See [Dbm] the mice with a million [Em] whores
From [Gb] a beast are to the [Bb]
Norfolk [Bm] bronze
Rue [Bb] Britannia is out [D] of bounds
to [E] my mother my dog and [C] clowns
But [E] the film is a saddening [Am] bore
Cuz [Bb] I read it ten times
[F] It's [A]
about to be read [Dm] again
As I [Eb] ask you to focus on
[D]
Look [G]
[A]
[Bm]
[Bb] at those [A] cavemen go
[Am]
it's the [Em] freakiest show
[D] [Gm]
Take [G]
a look at the
[D]
[G] Beating up the wrong [Bm] guy
Feel [Bb]
