Blue Sky on Mars

Started with a rose
Ended up a millionairess queen
In your new electric chair
Sweetly sitting there building up steam
Watch your mind little bit
Or you're gonna have to make believe

Flew into LA
Caught a screening of your lifelong dream Blew it in LA
Now you're desperate to create your own scene
But watch your mind little bit
'Cause you're headed into the machine

Come to California
Come to California
Come to California
Come to California

Come to California
Baby let it all hang out
Come to California
Tell us what it's all about
But watch your mind little bit
Cause the future is beginning now

Come to California
Come to California
Come to California
Come to California
But watch your mind little bit
'Cause you're headed into the machine
Come to California
Come to California
Come to California
Come to California

You come looking for protection
A revolver in your hand
And that puts it in a language
That I think I understand
Don't need to concentrate
To push it through
You know you've sent it
'Cause I'm coming back to you

Anybody with a brain will tell you
That you cannot win
But just ask the brainless wonder
Living underneath my skin
I'll tell you anything
But what is true
No sense in giving in
I'm coming back to you
Back to you

Solo

Anybody with a brain will tell you
That you cannot win
But just ask the brainless wonder
Living underneath my skin
I'll tell you anything
But what is true
No sense in giving in
I'm coming back to you
Back to you...

Instead of running
Stay and keep it coming
You're getting your kicks right at the source
You're taking your guidance from the force
But where do you get love
Down below or from somewhere above
Got a scary feeling I know
Where you get love

Am I the whore
You're working for
I'm here if you want to keep me near
Much further away than I appear
Where do you get love
Down below or from somewhere above
Got a scary feeling I know
Where you get love

Instead of running
Stay and keep it coming
Stay and keep it coming
Stay and keep it coming
Stay and keep it coming coming
Where do you get love
Down below or somewhere above
Got a scary feeling I know
Where you get love
Where do you get love
Down below or from somewhere above
Got a scary feeling I know
Where you get love

Capture
The spirit of adversity
Be sure to put the lid on tight
And watch it carefully
Sew shut
The mouth of the river slut
The entrance to the place discussed
But hardly there for you

Hollow
An evil bigger than you could know
Has taken root

Rapture
So what do you care
You know if it was up to me
I'd take you anywhere

Hollow
An evil bigger than you could know
An evil bigger than you could know
An evil bigger than you could know
Has taken root

Solo

Hollow
An evil bigger than you could know
An evil bigger than you could know
An evil bigger than you could know
Has taken root

I haven't been a good friend
For a long long time
You know I wasn't happy
Behind the smile

Anywhere you look
A reason to believe
But think of what it took
To bring me to my proper place

And I haven't been a good friend
For a long long time
I haven't been a good friend
While you've been mine

Now am I by your side
Or standing in your way
Cause if this is a sign
I don't know what it's s'posed to mean

And I haven't been a good friend
For a long long time
I haven't been a good friend
While you've been mine

I have seen my perfect day
I have watched it fade away
You know I'm fighting to be real
I haven't been a good friend
For a long long time
You know I wasn't happy
Behind the smile

Hanging on to your pride
Trying not to decide
Who could take your
Do you hold it inside
Or let it fall by the way
I'll feel the way you feel
And tell you after

But how long will it take
How long until you break

To talk you into space
How long until you break

Put an end to your day
Turn the light out and stay
That first I'll get to know
And love you after

Just how long will it take
How long until you break
To talk you into space
How long until you break

Solo

I'll feel the way you feel
And love you after
Just how long will it take
How long until you break
To talk you into space
How long until you break
Just how long will it take
How long until you break
To talk you into space
How long until you break
'Til you break

You're over it
You're not angry anymore
Because you're over it
No big deal unless you make it one
You don' t even have to fake it now
You're over it you're over it

And in a way
You should never have to feel
You didn't get your say
If you're looking all around you
And there's nothing that's profound
You know you're over it

I won't ask you what you think of me
'Cause I'm exactly who I want to be
Not like me
You're over it

Solo

I won't ask you what you think of me
'Cause I'm exactly who I want to be
Not like me
You're over it
You're not angry anymore
Because you're over it
You can go back to being normal
'Cause I guess this makes it formal now
You're over it you're over it
You're over it now

When it shines the sun is hot
And what you kneed you ain't got
Heaven and earth
Are hardly worth it
We'll begin the race by living in ecstasy

You may have your mind to show
But you've got no place to go
Heaven and earth
Are hardly worth it
We'll begin the race by living a life of ecstasy
We'll begin the race by living in ecstasy

Solo

Will you share with me to live
What nobody wants to give
Heaven and earth
Are hardly worth it
We'll begin the race by living a life of ecstasy
We'll begin the race by ripping a rib for you
From me
We'll begin the race by living a life of ecstasy
We'll begin the race by living in ecstasy

Bad blood
Set you up for a fall
Think you're so smart
That you're fooling us all
But it seems
You must have done something wrong

Say you'll have to get back
If you have to crawl
Well it's a fat chance
You could make it at all
And it seems
You must have done something wrong

And I remember what you said
It was all over my head
But now it's coming back to me

You don't have
The system beat, no
You're travelling down
A one way street
Like the rest of us
You must have done something wrong

And I remember what you said
It was all over my head
But now it's coming back to me

Solo

And I remember what you said
It was all over my head
But now it's coming back to me
It was all over my head
But now it's coming back to me
You must have done something wrong
It was all over my head
You must have done something wrong
It was all over my head

Tell me what you want me to do
Tell me what you want me to say
When nothing I do or say is enough
Everything fits but the size of my love
Out of proportion and into your drug
Into your drug

Now how can I give you the world
Painted on the side of a pearl
When neither the pearl 'nor the world is big
Enough
Everything fits but the size of my love
Out of proportion and into your drug
Into your drug

Solo

Nothing I do or say is enough
Everything fits but the size of my love
Out of proportion and into your drug
Into your drug

Everything is perfect in a way
But not today
What could tomorrow bring
Even when I beg you
Will you please be good to me
You're running free

Just make believe you love me
And I'll try harder than before
'Cause it's a real love
That keeps us coming back for more

If anything
Anything I question can be used
Against my will
And it will be 'til you
Understand the question is
A cup that can't be filled
By what you feel

I'll make believe I love you
And I'll try harder than before
'Cause it's a real love
That keeps us coming back for more

Solo

Just make believe you love me
And I'll try harder than before
'Cause it's a real love
That keeps us coming back for more

Do you realize what they have done
Showed me I am not the only one
Planted something in my mind
Now I've begun to find
Missing time
I want back
I'm afraid that I can feel
Missing time
I want back
Didn't realize they took from me
Everything my eyes had lived to see
Even when they touched my heart
I felt I could not move
Missing time
Holds the key
Something they left here with me
Missing time
I want back

Solo

Is there something I can almost see
'Cause you know they're coming back for me
Even as you watch us go
Missing time
Holds the key
Something they left here with me
Missing time
I want back
I'm afraid that I can feel
Missing time
I want back
I'm afraid that I can feel
Missing time
I want back
