Cover art for Buddha For Mary lyrics by 30 Seconds to Mars

A simple future wash you away An open mind cancelled it today A silent song that's in your voice A different taste that's in your mind

This is the life on Mars

Mary was a different girl Had a thing for astronauts Mary was the type of girl She always liked to fall apart Mary was a holy girl Father whet her appetite Mary was the type of girl She always liked to fuck about

Tell me did you see her face Tell me did you smell her taste Tell me what's the difference Don't they all just look the same inside See her face Smell her taste What's the difference Don't they all just look the same inside

Mary was an acrobat But still she couldn't seem to breathe Mary was becoming Everything she didn't want to be Mary would hallucinate And see the sky upon the wall Mary was the type of girl She always liked to fly

Tell me did you see her face Tell me did you smell her taste Tell me what's the difference Don't they all just look the same inside See her face Smell her taste What's the difference Don't they all just look the same inside

This is the life on Mars This is the life on Mars This is the life on Mars This is the life...

He said Can you hear me are you sleeping She said Will you rape me now He said Leave the politics to madmen She said I believe your lies He said There's a paradise beneath me She said Am I supposed to bleed He said You better pray to jesus She said I don't believe in god

Mary was a different girl Had a thing for astronauts Mary was the type of girl She always liked to play around Mary was a holy girl Father whet her appetite Mary was the type of girl She always liked to fall apart

Tell me did you see her face Tell me did you smell her taste Tell me what's the difference Don't they all just look the same inside See her face Smell her taste What's the difference Don't they all just look the same inside

A simple future wash you away An open mind cancelled it today
