Martian Cowboy Lyrics

(Words Willcox / Music Bogen/Darlow/Spalding)
Desert Hound
Martian Cowboy
Let me hold your hand
Down the freeway rolls a wayward beer can
And a desert hound
Carries decaying memories away
For the dogs to sense another day
Hold me in your arms
This planet is far from Mars
Lets just hold hands (for now)
And we'll take it as it comes
Celestial Stowaway
Martian Cowboy
Come again another day
Till then we're just a star away
My Martian Cowboy
Remember today
Hold me in your arms
This planet is far from Mars
Lets just hold hands (for now)
And we'll take it as it comes
Red planet
Sun rise
Red planet
Sun rise
Decaying cars
Splintered tyres
The deserted freeways of Mars
My Martian Cowboy
Hold me in your arms again
I said -
Hold me in your arms
This planet is far from Mars
Lets just hold hands (for now)
And we'll take it as it comes
Red planet
Sun rise
Red planet
Sun rise...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
