[F] [Am] It's a god [C]-awful small [A] affair
[D] To the girl with the [Gm] mousy hair
[Bb] But her mummy is yelling [C] no
And her daddy has told her to [F] go
But [Am] her friend is nowhere to [Eb] be seen
[G] Now she walks [F] through her sunken [Gm] dream
To [Bb] the seat with the [C] clearest view
And she's hooked to the [Eb] silver screen
But [E] the film is a saddening [F] bore
For [Gb] she's lived it ten [Db] times or more
She [A] could spit in the eyes of [Bbm] fools
[Db] As they ask her to focus [Bb] on seeing [Eb] her
Fighting in the [Gm] dance hall
Look [Gb] at those [F] cavemen go
[Fm] It's a [Cm] freaky show
[Ebm] Take a [Bb] look at the land
[Eb] Feeding off the [Gm] wrong guy
Oh [Gb] man, wonder if you'll [F] ever know
[Fm] Who's in the [Cm] metallic shallows
[Ebm] Is there [Gm] life on Mars?
[Gb] [Bb] [Em] [F]
[Gb] [Gm] [E] [Dm] [Am]
[Bb] [Bbm] [Bb] [F]
[Am] It's on [C] America's [F] tortured brow
[Eb] [D] That Mickey Mouse has grown [Gm] up a cow
And now [Bb] the workers have struck for [C] fame
Because Lennon's on sale [F] again
See [Am] the mice in their million [Cm] hordes
[D] From Ibiza to the North [Gm] Abroad
[Bb] Rupert Tanner is out of [C] bounds
To my mother, my dog, [Eb] and clouds
[E] But the film is a [Fm] saddening bore
[Gb] Because I wrote it ten times [Db] or more
[A] It's about to be writ [Bbm] again
[Db] As they ask her to focus on [Bb] [Eb] seeing her
Fighting in [Gm] the dance hall
Look [Gb] at those [F] cavemen go
[Fm] It's [Cm] a freaky show
[Ebm] Take [Bb] a look at the land
[Eb] Feeding off [Gm] the wrong guy
Oh [Gb] man, wonder if [F] you'll ever know
[Fm] Who's in [Cm] the metallic shallows
[Ebm] Is [Gm] there life on [Gb] Mars?
