B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-baby!

lyrics

So won't you tell me what it's like up there
Oh with your head stuck way up in the air
You've got all these plans of things you never gonna do
And I think it's time somebody they told you

Well there's just one problem
Well of how you gonna hear
When you're up there
And I'm only down here
I don't think that you really realise
Oh no but baby
It's as clear as the day there in your eyes

Cause you're livin' on mars
Or else you're way up in them fancy little stars
Said you're livin' on mars

Don't get me wrong though
It's not that you have dreams
No it's more that you're livin' in them
And the sirens well they don't scream
Oh you just keep carrying on
Through all those lies
Blaming everybody else for all of the goodbyes

And I'm so sorry
See it's only what you do
And right now i'm the only hand
That's out to help you
But don't you hear
In the words I say
Oh no cause baby
You ain't with the livin' on earth
I said oh no no no not today

No you're livin' on mars
Or else you're way up in them fancy little stars
Said you're livin. on mars

You don't hear the words I say
My baby darling no

So now at last I said you finally realise
That everything you've done well it's been only a pack of lies
Oh yes here at last I said you finally see
What it truly was that you really meant to me

Oh don't you go a making
Yourself mad
No it's only you really knows
What it was that you had
And don't you worry
There's so very many more like you
You see what's worse
Is that so many of them mean it too
Oh yeah they do

I said
I said you've livin' on mars
Else you're way up in them fancy little stars
I said you're livin' on mars

I said oh you must be livin' on
Oh you must be a livin' on
I said
B-b-b-b-b-baby!!!!!!!!
You must be a livin' on mars!
