Life Will Kill Us

[Verse 1]
The Martians have stolen my television
But they left my poetry
They're learning about our condition
By watching Coronation Street

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe they're working out the final cast
And maybe God is made of candy floss

[Chorus]
Life will kill us all one day
Life will kill us all one day

[Verse 2]
Their starship erased my tapes and videos
They scorched my garden with the heat
Then they made instant friends with my answer phone
They hear the tone, but they don't speak

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I find it hard to understand
The immortal magic has no master plan

[Chorus]
Life will kill us all one day
Life will kill us all one day

[Verse 3]
It seems the planet Earth experiment has failed
And dolphins should have topped the evolutionary scale
The Martians left mankind swinging in the trees
Another fifty years, and we'll put sewage in their seas

[Verse 4]
So bring me my shield of whiskey and credit cards
Bring me some news from outer space
Our saviour has eyes like a guilty child
But will he ever show his face?

[Pre-Chorus]
We pride achievement like a flag unfurled
We are the victims of our greedy world

[Chorus]
Life will kill us all one day
Life will kill us all one day
(Life will kill us all one day)
Life will kill us all one day
