Bagpipes On Mars Lyrics - Singles - Enter The Haggis

I read about a man who'd been 

Around the world and back again 

Built a space ship in his back yard 

And went to mars one afternoon 

When he got home late that night 

He said the people, they were kind 

Bought him drinks and entertained him 

And that's where he'd been all this time 

But do they play the bagpipes on mars? 

Do they have a shrine to Elvis? 

Easy payments on their cars? 

And what do they know about us? 

Do they fly in flying saucers? 

Do they have to take the bus? 

Well, I got pretty curious and I built a space craft of my own 

Blew a gasket and lost my oil a half a million miles from home 

Fortunately, a family of martians came a drivin' by 

Picked me up, and their daughter liked me 

Now we're married and the kids look fine 

But do they play the bagpipes on mars? 

Do they have a shrine to Elvis? 

Easy payments on their cars? 

And what do they know about you and me? 

Do they recycle plastic 

And steal cable TV? 

Now I got pretty homesick 

So I started up a little band 

We got famous - three gold records! 

Bought the Partridge family's van! 

Got bombed out on Uranus 

Rave reviews on Venus 

Things got hot on Mercury 

That's where I burned my piano 

And now they're playing bagpipes on mars 

They've got a ? shrine to Elvis 

Photo radar on their cars 

They've learned everything from you and me 

They're hanging out at singles bars 

And watching MTV 

... (yes they are)
