Alice Cooper - Might As Well Be on Mars Lyrics
[Alice Cooper/Dick Wagner/Desmond Child]
The city streets are wet with rain tonight
Taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane
A lonely guitar man playin' down the hall
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
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
[CHORUS]
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 lthe 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
[CHORUS]

Alice Cooper Might As Well Be on Mars Comments
reality
The song that would have been used in the Blade Runner OST if Ridley Scott had a time-machine.
My love life in a nutshell.
" the city streets seem old and grey and beat " .... ... Got that right mr. Cooper ...
Best Desmond Child co-written song
This is the greatest Alice Cooper song. Very visual. Needs a video.
Lawrence Sides
Todas las canciones del album son Top
Been listening to this on repeat today. No particular reason, just love the vibe.
Muito boa música
Sometimes you got to let her go and start again even if it is on Mars. That is life.
One of the greatest power ballads of all time...
Aaw shit, one of my favorites. I always wanted to cover this song earlier with my band, but it was to difficult, or whatever, I dunno...
what would be his new album for the tour?
Whenever I hear this song, I remember that great summer of 1991.
I never knew that tears could sting 3
Best Song Ever!!
Absolument parfait!
One of the best rock songs I’ve ever heard, great lyrics, killer performances and arranging and a jammin ending.
i dont cry to metal guys songs, i cry to this, so beautful <3
Love this song...the lyrics are deep....love Alice!
Alice Best album
i used to dedicate this song to girls unavailable in my high school years (88-94) took me longer to graduate but i got my diploma. crazy times. i, like Alice had a dark side to the me that was yet to be. my blog is jjcreator.blogspot.com
………….a song that needs to be played loud...just love that ending !!!
totally agree !
Did he ever play this live? It's a fantastic song.
Best listened to at full volume and in the dark. This song just lets me drift away.......
for be it was best listened while roving the shopping mall with my headphones on singing aloud not caring how crazy i looked.
My dick hard over this song
One hell of a masterpiece! Alice is the greatest!
Great Alice .
Love this song. I thought of a cool video for this.
Yes, this song needs a video.
amazing song discovered in july 1994 after loosing my 1st youth love. i Retired with 3 of my now long gone best friends on a beach spot. Hard time for me…..But i returned 3 months later, a man not a boy anymore. Dreams were well broken. That's life. You become stronger with age.
Pura maguia 🤘
My favorite of all of Alice’s hits
Lonely persons anthem. I feel like this about someone right now. I done did ruined my changes with him even after I begged for forgiveness: '(
Listen to Hey Stoopid. It's the one song that's really helped me to start moving on. "Stop lying around with a crippled, broken heart."
This whole album kicks ass! Full of great vocals, melodies, and amazing solos! All hail The King!
One of my life songs.....
also "Hell is living without you"... damn....
Only My Heart Talkin'
I think "Die for You" is his best ballad ever. It's a killer.
Same here. <3
Agree
And "It's Me" too is one of the bests
One of the greatest Alice Cooper songs.
One of my favorite ballads, but another sad, broken heart song from Alice...
Love this song, cuts me deep it's my Love Song
What a masterpiece...love it til´death
Great song. Highly underrated
This song pretty much tells how we all feel bout that one person we cannot no longer have
An underrated jem!!!
MICK MARS...
Mean soloist?
"I might as well be the man on Keith moon" legitimate Alice Cooper lyric
MrIgorek13 great guitar player for Motley Crüe, check out song "Bittersuite"
@Roman Maygard ty much
Great Album!👍
I wished i have written this song.....such a great song...!!!!
Alice is THE man
I hate that nobody at my school knows who he is. I wanna geek out over Alice Cooper with someone!
Ronnie James Dio I graduated high school in 95 some of the best music came out in the 90s I feel sorry for you young guys and gals everything's retarded now digital computer crap and nonsense they call it art and genius to pick a beat off of a computer think up a few lyrics and make a song. Playing an instrument and using your brain having talent is just too damn hard. all these so-called musicians , singers or whatever they call themselves would be poor as hell if I had to rely on my money pop culture has infested and ruined everything hell I used to like country and now half of that is turned into rap pop
I fully understand your plight in 1975 when Welcome to my nightmare came out a whole new music whole new world started for me
@johnrhodes101875 Most people I know like older music, yes some of it is electronic and some of it isn't. I still like some modern heavy metal though. I agree that a lot of modern stuff is just, flimsy....Almost minimalist, don't like it.
I fell ya!
That's so funny dude.I can't remember what grade I was in but it was when I was in elementary school.We were supposed to write a poem in a class and I wrote down some of the lyrics for the song Die For You.Everybody loved it and obviously had no idea it was an Alice Cooper song😂😂
I always related to this song the whole album is pretty good
Yup this song will do it.God Bless Mars & Earth!!!
God bless Saturn too and its festivals.
God bless Jupiter and Saturn just as well.
i am one to reiterate.
Alice has written a ton of great songs but this might be the best song he has ever done. Just tremendous.
@Tadeus Macabro This and Hey Stoopid both speak to me in ways nobody ever can. It just hits me, you know?
kefkamadman I know exactly how you feel. I always said that Hey Stoopid is my favorite Alice Cooper album. The raw emotion that Alice exudes in this ballad always tears at my heart. 🖤🖤🖤
i dont cry to metal guys songs, i cry to this, so beautful <3
Especially that pretty much everything on Trash and Hey Stoopid was written by genius songwriter Desmond Child. He was also the producer....Alice was just a prostitute after he went solo.
@Alonso de Hojeda I know Desmond,wrote a lot of kiss stuff too. Think he tried havinga solo career,but didn't go so well
One of Alice's greatest songs ever. Awesome songwriting on this one and great vocals.
There is a lush creepiness to the keyboards here that is just so tasty.
I want this song to be played on my funeral...
you wont be alone
Not a bad song choice at all!
If I die before my husband, maybe this song would be a good choice for my funeral, too! With Alice singing it would be a reborning...
i believe we will attend our own funerals according to a book i read somewhere.
Arthur RIP
Like ALICE? Check out GLITTER DOGS. 70's style rock
Album: COLORS THAT FADE
real drums, guitars. No Bieber shitty auto tune. YouTube Spotify iTunes
This song could be about my old man. He's somewhere but it feels like he might as well be on another planet
Sorry......I know the feeling.
This is about suicide - correct?
I'm sorry to hear about your dad as far as Society goes they said dads aren't important I've always thought Society was full of crap people need their dads I lost my dad in 2015 he was 73 served in the Navy and was on disability he got hurt lost half a lung I learned a lot just being around him and watching what he did and I never realized how much I learned from him until I had to step up and do what you used to do everybody needs their dad but men need to stand up and be a dad some just can't make the commitment and that's sad
i always used to think he sang " i might as well be your mom"
Well, who knows, maybe those are the real lyrics, maybe we've been wrong all along
Damnit, not sure if you ruin the song or made it better for me.
He'd be the strangest (& ugliest!) "mom" anybody would ever have!
Published on Alice Cooper's Birthday, Feb 4, 2016!
I was waiting outside the store when this was released in australia
i bought it on cassette and it's somewhere hidden in my dilapidated apartment in helter-skelter need to clean house and find treasure.
I wish my Ky Ky knew my emotions to him and how I'd give anything for him. my heart is forever his
same here...that moment when you realize how long you havent spoken to each other, that feeling that you cant just go to the person you love, like nothing happened because its been too long and your lifes have drifted apart ... so he/she could as well be on mars. Those lyrics or the title of the song fit perfect...it hurts so bad...
Left someone in NC
Might as well be on mars....
on Mars you might see a full Earth.
Great song !
Alice Cooper rocks!
DietSwiftieCat no shit
