Coming in soon - one of the few ballads I have written
The song works with a prominent second voice in this case a female backing trio - it takes a school ground rhyme - though the song is not whimsical.
VERSE PART A
I had a friend
She was my love
Said I wasn’t good, enough
She’s cosmic ice
Drainded me
Like a pack of smokes
Said you make me sick, make me, choke
One sellout vibe
She let me drift
Let me loose
Nowhere rides on a subway, recluse
I’m Outa sight
A poor white man
On a wild new beat
On the shores of love
Where flirtin’s, cheap
Soul groove night
CHORUS 1
Here on
Earth, Venus
And Mars
(Mars Lisa and Jasper sitting on a tree K I S S I N G)
We are
Earth, Venus
And Mars
(Mars – first comes love then comes marriage then comes baby in the baby carriage)
VERSE PART B
And all the while
She held my hand
And with each brush
A new, demand
Layin a trip
I chained myself
To her once more
She touched my face
A new civil, war
Electro hip
CHORUS 2
Here on
Earth, Venus
And Mars
(Mars suckin his thumb, wettin his pants, doin the hoochie coochie dance
We are
Earth, Venus
And Mars
(Mars suckin his thumb, wettin his pants, doin the hoochie coochie dance
VERSE PART C
A poor white man
On a wild new beat
On the shores of love
Where flirtin’s, cheap
Soul groove night
And all the while
She held my hand
And with each brush
A new, demand
Do your thing
