Well the Milo de Venus was a beautiful lass  
She had the world in the palm of her hand  
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match  
To win a brown eyed handsome man  
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man

The air is soft in the Field of Mars  
Tears are lost to feed the overgrown grass  
And I have to leave, but I never seem to go  
Only more sad clouds where autumn winds will blow  
All my dreams seem so long ago  
All my dreams seem so long ago

Oh, Field of Mars

But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?  
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day  
And head back to the Milky Way?  
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind?  
Was it everything you wanted to find?  
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?

Fly me to the moon  
Let me play among the stars  
Let me see what spring is like  
On Jupiter and Mars  
In other words, hold my hand  
In other words, baby, kiss me

And so it must be, for so it is written  
On the doorway to paradise  
That those who falter and those who fall  
Must pay the price!

Lord, let me find him  
That I may see him  
Safe behind bars  
I will never rest  
Till then  
This I swear  
This I swear by the stars!

You know he knows just exactly what the facts is

Hello, how are you?  
Have you been alright through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?

If you pick up that telephone, yeah, yeah, yeah

When you’re feeling sad and lonely  
There’s a service I can render.  
Tell the one who loves you only,  
I can be so warm and tender.  
Call me, don’t be afraid you can call me.  
Maybe it’s late but just call me.  
Call me and I’ll be around.

Hello, yeah, it’s been a while.  
Not much, how 'bout you?  
I’m not sure why I called,  
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you.  
And I was thinking maybe later on,  
We could get together for a while.  
It’s been such a long time,  
And I really do miss your smile.

Give me your own special smile  
Promise you’ll never leave me  
Just you 'n me  
Simple and free  
Life is so easy  
When you’re beside me  
Oh girl

K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy,  
You’re the only g-g-g-girl that I adore;  
When the m-m-m-moon shines,  
Over the cowshed,  
I’ll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door.

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time  
You understand now why you came this way  
‘Cause the truth you might be runnin’ from is so small  
But it’s as big as the promise, the promise of a comin’ day
