Bagpipes On Mars

歌詞

I read about a man who'd been Around the world and back again Built a space ship in his back yard And went to mars one afternoon When he got home late that night He said the people, they were kind Bought him drinks and entertained him And that's where he'd been all this time But do they play the bagpipes on mars? Do they have a shrine to Elvis? Easy payments on their cars? And what do they know about us? Do they fly in flying saucers? Do they have to take the bus? Well, I got pretty curious and I built a space craft of my own Blew a gasket and lost my oil a half a million miles from home Fortunately, a family of martians came a drivin' by Picked me up, and their daughter liked me Now we're married and the kids look fine But do they play the bagpipes on mars? Do they have a shrine to Elvis? Easy payments on their cars? And what do they know about you and me? Do they recycle plastic And steal cable TV? Now I got pretty homesick So I started up a little band We got famous - three gold records! Bought the Partridge family's van! Got bombed out on Uranus Rave revues on Venus Things got hot on Mercury That's where I burned my piano And now they're playing bagpipes on mars They've got a drive-thru shrine to Elvis Photo radar on their cars They've learned everything from you and me They're hanging out at singles bars And watching MTV ... (yes they are)
