    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    It's a god-awful small affair
    To the girl with the mousy hair
    But her mummy is yelling, "No!"
    And her daddy has told her to go
    But her friend is nowhere to be seen
    Now she walks through her sunken dream
    To the seat with the clearest view
    And she's hooked to the silver screen
    [Pre-Chorus]
    But the film is a saddening bore
    For she's lived it ten times or more
    She could spit in the eyes of fools
    As they ask her to focus on
    [Chorus]
    Sailors fighting in the dance hall
    Oh, man, look at those cavemen go
    It's the freakiest show
    Take a look at the lawman
    Beating up the wrong guy
    Oh, man, wonder if he'll ever know
    He's in the best selling show
    Is there life on Mars?
    [Verse 2]
    It's on America's tortured brow
    That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
    Now the workers have struck for fame
    'Cause Lennon's on sale again
    See the mice in their million hordes
    From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
    Rule Britannia is out of bounds
    To my mother, my dog, and clowns
    [Pre-Chorus]
    But the film is a saddening bore
    Because I wrote it ten times or more
    It's about to be writ again
    As I ask you to focus on
    [Chorus]
    Sailors fighting in the dance hall
    Oh, man, look at those cavemen go
    It's the freakiest show
    Take a look at the lawman
    Beating up the wrong guy
    Oh, man, wonder if he'll ever know
    He's in the best selling show
    Is there life on Mars?
    David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

    We need some more live shows released on DVD/Blu-ray! There's so many tours not officially released, it's madness! It jumps from Glass Spider tour to Reality tour but where's heathen , earthling, outside etc?
