Liv på Mars? [Life On Mars?] [English translation]

It's gray, it's late and quiet

For a girl who's not been kissed

Since a dawn a long time ago

No one knows when it happens again

Now she walks through the city, stays like that

And she buys a ticket, a blue one

To the country where dreams come true

The light goes out in the cinema

But the movie is dull and boring

Like it was when she last saw it

She knows each scene by heart

See the heroine who kisses her

Hero, the tears fall

Stiffens in a stumps last frame

Such a horrible movie

She walks through the city

Looks up to space

The row of pale stars

Which are high above dark houses

Is there life on Mars?

And from a kaleidoscope of oblivion

Completely without lament and solitary cries

She walks slowly, so slowly home

To her weekday, nine to five

Like a shape among many more

But there's never something more

Something really sweet and kind

Like in the dream she dreamt tonight

But the movie is dull and boring

Like it was when she last saw it

She knows each scene by heart

See the heroine who kisses her

Hero, the tears fall

Stiffens in a stumps last frame

Such a horrible movie

She walks through the city

Looks up to space

The row of pale stars

Which are high above dark houses

Is there life on Mars?
