Might As Well Be On Mars....

Might As Well Be On Mars....

The city streets are wet with rain tonight
Taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane
A lonely guitar man playing down the hall
Midnight blues coming 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 staring at the stars
Looking 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 gray 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 fading
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 staring at the stars
Looking 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

Chances are I have used this song in atleast one thread already..but I'm too drained to go look....

As long as you go during the Summer!

The time of the atmospheric measurements and the local time of the measurements on Mars are specified on a 24 hour clock. The elevation is with respect to a standard martian reference surface (geoid). The typical atmospheric pressure on the surface of the Earth is approximately 1000 millibars (1 bar). The atmosphere at two different locations (usually one in each hemisphere) is sampled on each MGS orbit. Due to the changing positions of Earth and Mars and changes in the spacecraft orbit, the latitude and local time of the measurements generally vary slowly from one orbit to the next.

this isn't just a lyric thread...

the words best fit the mood.....stalking...maybe? loving? lusting? I doubt stalking....but surely the other two.
I don't have any real direct path for this thread....for example i don't expect it to only be about subject X ......or not about subject Y....
I just posted what was echoing through my empty skull...and empty heart.
