MARTIAN MAN
Lynsey De Paul


As I was lying on my pillow last night
I saw the strangest sight
A green machine with flashing lights
And as I stared and wondered
What it could be for
Hoping to see more
A Martian came right through my door
"Where have I landed ?
My ship is stranded"

  Martian Man, take my hand
  We are a part of whatever the stars planned
  Let's stick together, whatever they say

And he explained the Earth was no place
No atmosphere, and I could not live there
We both were made with different spheres
And anyway the green man
Couldn't mix with white
And Mars wasn't right
He disappeared into the night
"Where have I landed ?
My ship is stranded"

  Martian Man, take my hand
  We are a part of whatever the stars planned
  Let's stick together, whatever they say

Someday, but look at today (?)
We've only this one
End of the sun
And we'll understand
We will understand, understand

  Martian Man, take my hand
  We are a part of whatever the planned
  Let's stick together, whatever they say

Someday...
