B.B. On Mars LP Version)

The city streets are wet with rain tonight
	Taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane
	A lonely guitar man playin' down the hall
	Midnight blues comin' through the walls

	I tried to call you on the telephone
	I left it off the hook
	Just to hear it ring
	You told me you were better off alone
	I never knew that tears could stain

	I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
	Lookin' down at all the cars
	I can see you
	In the window of your favorite corner bar
	But to reach you is just too far
	And I might as well be on Mars

	The city seems so old and grey and beat
	It closes in and makes me wanna suffocate
	And you just live across the street
	But that's a billion miles away

	You've turned my world into a dark and lonely place
	Like a planet lost in space, my light is fadin'
	I'd cross the universe to be right where you are
	But I'm right in your backyard
	And I might as well be on Mars

	I might as well be on Mars
	You can't see me
	I might as well be the Man on the Moon
	You can't hear me
	Oh, can you feel me so close
	And yet so far
	Baby, I might as well be on Mars

	Baby, I can't fly
	If I could I'd come down to ya
	Maybe I should try

	I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
	Lookin' down at all the cars
	I can see you
	In the window of your favorite corner bar
	But to reach is just too far
	And I might as well be on Mars

	I might as well be on Mars
	You can't see me
	I might as well be the Man on the Moon
	You can't hear me
	Oh, can you feel me so close
	And yet so far
	Baby, I might as well be on Mars
