(This is the life, this is the life)

A simple fear to wash you away (this is the life, this is the life)

An open mind canceled it today ( this is the life, this is the life)

A silent song that's in your words (this is the life, this is the life)

A different taste that's in your mind

This is the life on mars [x2]

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 [x3]

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" (this is the life on mars)

She said, "am I supposed to bleed?" (this is the life on mars)

He said, "you better pray to jesus" (this is the life on mars)

She said, "I don't believe in god" (this is the life)
