He sets the pace, and we just try to keep up.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage my good friend, David Bowie~

It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
And her mummy is yelling 'No'
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
As she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause she's lived it ten times or more
It's about to be lived again
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
O man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
O man, wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on Amerika's tortured brow
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
And the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the norfolk broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
Huh, 'cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be written again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
O man, look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
O man, I wonder if you'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
