Sugarfall Life On Mars Ii Lyrics

LIFE ON MARS II

They told me New York's burning
From the inside out again
And the sky is falling faster than predicted
So before the earth stops turning
And the crazies shout amen
Can't we simply say the dream is now afflicted
Can't you give me just a moment to adjust my waning
smile
Can't you hold my hand before we leave this sphere
I've had nightmares bout this exodus since I was just
a child
Can we be here in this stillness feeling mere

They said that California's just a broken shard of
land
And that Tokyo's buried deep beneath the sea
I hate to say I warned you with the end so out of hand
And The Human Race returning to the trees
Can't you give me just a moment to wash wishes from my
eyes
Can't you wrap me up in something safe and warm
There's only minutes left before it all just f*cking
dies
Can't we stir and rage and scream and be the storm

Can't be blue when I'm here with you
Must be true that there's Life on Mars
Can't be blue when I'm here with you Must be true that there's Life on Mars

They used to say the worm would turn
They used to say the world was flat
I only listened long enough to shake my head
We used to teach the things we learned
We used to know what killed the cat
Now the mission seems to be forget the dead
Can't we wonder how it's possible to be so smart and
blind
Can't you show me how we strayed so far from home
There's a song you used to sing me that I wish were
only mine
Is it somewhere fused inside these chromosomes

Can't be blue when I'm here with you
Must be true that there's Life on Mars
Can't be blue when I'm here with you
Must be true that there's Life on Mars
Can't be blue when I'm here with you
Must be true that there's Life on Mars
Can't be blue when I'm here with you
Must be true that there's Life on Mars
Can't be blue when I'm here with you
Must be true that there's Life on Mars
Can't be blue when I'm here with you
Must be true that there's Life on Mars
