(Alice Cooper/Dick Wagner/Desmond Child)
|
The city streets are wet with rain tonight
|
Taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane
|
A lonely guitar man playin' down the hall
|
Midnight blues comin' 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 stain
|
|
I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
|
Lookin' 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 fadin'
|
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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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 ya
|
Maybe I should try
|
|
I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
|
Lookin' down at all lthe cars
|
I can see you
|
In the window of your favorite corner bar
|
But to reach is just too far
|
And I might as well be on Mars
|
|
[Chorus]
|

Might As Well Be On Mars
