Are You From Mars?

I was walkin’ in the early evening baby, a summer’s day
When I was felled by a beautiful creature that was glidin’ over my way
She (I think) had hair so sweet, and eyes that were searing my brain
I had never felt anything like this feeling, my heart was going insane
Closer and closer, hotter and better, she had to be wearing a mask
She and this planet don’t go together (was it true?) I had to ask:

Chorus:
Are you from Mars?
Are you from Mars?
Beyond the moon and the sunlight, sun and the stars
Are you from Mars?
Are you from Mars?
From the rock filled with desert and goddesses, do you have a god on Mars?

A pink sandy beach in the Bahamas, water clear and blue
This pristine tropical paradise is ugly next to you
A deep midwestern midnight sky with endless stars so bright
A celestial display that dims beside your light
Hiking through the Colorado Rockies, sailing the Greek isles
All around this big blue earth ain’t nothing like you smile

Chorus

Earthly pleasures, I’ve had my share; God knows I’m not naïve
But when it comes to pleasin’ you, I don’t know just what to do
I gotta know, it must be so, you gotta tell me please

Chorus

That wonderful night you took me to a place I never thought I’d see
I’m not real sure if I’m back on earth, or if I want to be
My heart and soul are in orbit darling, I just can’t seem to get down
I don’t know how long I’ll be floating until I hit splashdown
Alien being or of this earth it matters not what kind
You’re the only woman I want in my life so baby, your planet or mine?

Chorus
