Might As Well Be On Mars

The city streets are wet with rain tonight

The taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane

A lonely guitar man playing down the hall

Midnight blues coming through the walls

I tried to call you on the telephone

I left it off the hook, just to hear it ring

You told me you were better off alone

I never knew that tears could sting

I'm on the roof, and I'm staring at the stars

Looking down at all the cars

I can see you

In the window of your favorite corner bar

But to reach you is just too far

And I might as well be on Mars

The city seems so old and grey and beat

It closes in and makes me wanna suffocate

And you just live across the street

But that's a billion miles away

You've turned my world into a dark and lonely place

Like a planet lost in space

My light is fading

I'd cross the universe to be right where you are

But I'm right in your backyard

And I might as well be on Mars

I might as well be on Mars

You can't see me

I might as well be the Man on the Moon

You can't hear me

Oh, can you feel me so close?

And yet so far

Baby, I might as well be on Mars

Baby, I can't fly

If I could, I'd come down to you

Maybe I should try

I'm on the roof, and I'm staring at the stars

Looking down at all the cars

I can see you

In the window of your favorite corner bar

But to reach you is just too far

And I might as well be on Mars

I might as well be on Mars

You can't see me

I might as well be the Man on the Moon

You can't hear me

Oh, can you feel me so close?

And yet so far

Baby, I might as well be on Mars

Yeah, I might as well be on Mars

I might as well be on Mars

I might as well be on Mars

I might as well be on Mars

I might as well be on Mars

I might as well be on Mars

I might as well be on Mars

I might as well be on Mars

I might as well be on Mars
