The Lyrics
I'm up here (where is here?)
I'm up here (but where is here?)
I'm way up here (but where is here?)
The red planet
It's red, it's red
It's red, red
It's red, so red
Quite red, yeah
Won't invade you, never
I am not a conq'ror
Won't risk that endeavor
Nope, won't try it
It's not worth me tryin'
Films made you excited
But they make me cry 'n'
Stuff, I know this
Martians dyin', not winners
Your B-movies have killed my int'rest
Don't think I'll, crash your place
You won't change that
Mars Attacks, it had me hurtin', Burton
Insulting my race, stop
I'm not about random violence, dear
I'm quite happy with my pad up here
You fear that I'll come down and blow shit up
Just blow all your shit up
Don't fear, I'm really quite a peaceful, friendly bloke
I just don't have a nose
And I-I-I, I'm on Mars (on Mars)
The red planet, I'm on Mars (on Mars)
Yes I-I-I live on Mars (on Mars)
The red planet, I'm on Mars (on Mars)
Yes I-I-I live on Mars (on Mars)
The red planet, yes, that Mars (on Mars)
On Mars, on Mars, eat cars and bars
(The red planet)
Not a crazy Martian invader
(The red planet)
Not a nasty Martian invader
(The red planet)
Ain't no monst'rous Martian invader
On Mars, on Mars, I'm Martian, y'all
You can't top this, got Deimos and Phobos
You've one moon, I bet you're jealous
Weird, lumpy-py-py, like potatoes*
Why they're shaped like that, that, that
I cannot guess
Stayed out of sight for now
I've got a busted Rover pound
Trailin', you're failin'
One me hidden from seven billion
I don't want a war
I'd rather smoke Martian crack
Because I've got a lot
Don't want a war
You're jumpy and crazed, about to blow
I can't just get up and invade you like that
I don't give a crap, yeah
We're more alike than you may think you know
Got twelve fingers and antennaes, though
And I-I-I, I'm on Mars (on Mars)
The red planet, I'm on Mars (on Mars)
Yes I-I-I live on Mars (on Mars)
The red planet, I'm on Mars (on Mars)
Yes I-I-I live on Mars (on Mars)
The red planet, yes, that Mars (on Mars)
On Mars, on Mars, eat cars and bars
Cause Mars is my home, my humble residence
The only one that I've got, that's why I'm hesitant
And I'm the last Martian, shocked? Not surprised a bit
I'd show proof, but believe me, that story's long as shit
Soon I'm gonna run out of food, I'm out of cheelo
That's like a reptilian donkey, tastes good, but rare though
Even if there were some shops left, I can't afford it
Yeah, my town has had it bad, looks like a bomb hit
I've lost my Martian dog, Martian cat, Martian babes
Martian friends, could call me O-Martian Man
I need a rescue party, not from you hacks
You see something like me, try to shoot that
Don't try to arrest, don't try to admit
You know shit 'bout Mars, so I won't submit
Mars: my home's gone to crap, see
If it weren't for your stupid films
Us as friends? Could be
Where them grey buggers at?
Is what I hear you ask
I ain't that, I ain't that, I ain't that
Where that Marvin at?
That I hear you ask
I ain't that, I ain't that, I ain't that
Where my rednecks at?
That I hear you ask
I ain't that, I ain't that, I ain't that
On Mars, on Mars, I'm starved on Mars
And I-I-I, I'm on Mars (on Mars)
The red planet, I'm on Mars (on Mars)
Yes I-I-I live on Mars (on Mars)
The red planet, I'm on Mars (on Mars)
Yes I-I-I live on Mars (on Mars)
The red planet, yes, that Mars (on Mars)
On Mars, on Mars, eat cars and bars
That's ri-i-ight
