A Better Life on Mars (redux)
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[instrumental]

Alone back in my room
The windows face the clouds
I stand inside the glass
The cold inside my bones
The walls are white and bare
For hours I'm barely there

I hold on to a dream
I feel I want to scream
In time emotions melt
Exhaustion takes my mind
I lay down on my bed
But sleep is hard to find

[chorus]
My world is lost to me
I stare up at the stars
I'm not where I should be
A better life on mars

[instrumental]

I dream of clear skies
A night so very black
The darkness hurts my eyes
I live below the ground
A shield for my emotions
I never will be found

The sand goes on forever
The silence blasts my mind
The light it whispers never
Like rust beat down by time
There is nothing left to see
In here it's only me

[chorus]
My world is lost to me
I stare up at the stars
I'm not where I should be
A better life on mars

[instrumental]

I dare not go outside
I stare up at the stars
I need a place to hide
A better life on mars

My world is lost to pain
I stare up at the stars
I no longer can remain
A better life on mars


A better life on mars

A better life on mars


A Better Life on Mars

I write the lyrics; Mr. Alfonso Suno composes the music.  Working with the lovely Ms. Ai Ongaku, they create the arrangements.  Ms. Ongaku and her crowd are responsible for the performances.  My part in creating these tracks is very small. Nonetheless, I am to blame.  Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
