The incredible Graeme Williamson wrote this song and I added a couple of instrumental sections. The original version is on the first Pukka Orchestra album
lyrics
MIGHT AS WELL BE ON MARS
Sunday morning with the New York Times
sun is shining in my penthouse suite
My valet's laying out some lines
they reach from Copa Beach to Easystreet
Before the mirror you apply your cream
cosmetic secret of eternal youth
Is something the matter no it's just a bad dream
I know you'd leave me if you knew the truth
I might as well be on Mars
I might as well be on Mars
Only the stars mean anything to you
Monday night another day goes by
your voice is telling me that life is sweet
You watch your star flash into the sky
and fall to earth again on Easystreet
I might as well be on Mars
I might as well be on Mars
Only the stars mean anything to you
I might as well be on Mars
I might as well be on Mars
I'm already that far away from you
We lead such a sweet existence
and I'm reaching out to you in vain
Your disappearing in the distance
of this alien terrain
Sunday morning with the New York Times
sun is shining in my penthouse suite
My valet's laying out some lines
Miami Beach to Easystreet
I might as well be on Mars
I might as well be on Mars
Only the stars mean anything to you
I might as well be on Mars
I might as well be on Mars
I'm already that far away from you
I'm already that far away from you
I'm already that far away from you
