Song lyrics
A simple fear to wash you away
An open mind canceled it today
A silent song that's in your words
A different taste that's in your mind

This is the life on mars [x2]

Mary was a different girl
Had a thing for astronauts
Mary was the type of girl
She always liked to play a lot
Mary was a holy girl
Father wet her appetite
Mary was the type of girl
She always liked to fall apart

Tell me did you see her face
Tell me did you smell her taste
Tell me what’s the difference
Don’t they all just look the same inside?
Buddha for Mary, Here it comes

Mary was an acrobat
But still she couldn’t seem to breathe
Mary was becoming everything she didn’t want to be
Mary would hallucinate
And see the sky upon the wall
Mary was the type of girl
She always liked to fly

Tell me did you see her face
Tell me did you smell her taste
Tell me what’s the difference
Don’t they all just look the same inside?
Buddha for Mary, Here it comes
Buddha for Mary, Here it comes

This is the life on mars

He said, "Can you here me, are you sleeping"
She said, "Will you rape me now?"
He said, "Leave the politics to mad men"
She said, "I believe your lies"
He said, "There’s a paradise beneath me"
She said, "Am I supposed to bleed?"
He said, "You better pray to Jesus"
She said, "I don’t believe in god"

Mary was a different girl
Had a thing for astronauts
Mary was the type of girl
She always liked to play a lot
Mary was a holy girl
Father wet her appetite
Mary was the type of girl
She always liked to fall apart

Tell me did you see her face
Tell me did you smell her taste
Tell me what’s the difference
Don’t they all just look the same inside?
See her face, smell her taste
What’s the difference?
Don’t they all just look the same inside?

A simple fear to wash you away
An open mind cancelled it today

30 seconds to Mars kcik så mutck ass.. 30stms musc is the best music in the hole UNIVERSE

the first album "30 Seconds to Mars" is the best but i think that "A Beautiful Lie" is dam good to.
The best song I've ever heard is Buddha for Mary.. I'm one of 30stms biggest fan.

This song sounds very beautiful. The lyrics are interesting too, although I think they're a bit creepy. I think that's the point though..the idea of resisting mainstream religion, despite all the suffering that may come with doing so.

I'm pretty sure that the line, "A simple fear to wash you away" is a reference, to mainstream Christian religion. I guess, the idea being how that religion is particularly sexist towards women. Perhaps there's also a reference to preist abuse. Mentioning father wetting her appetite.

I'd like to find out what the band's concept behind the lyrics are. I think my interpretation would be close to what they were getting at.

I really don't think the song has to do too much with religion, but with the girl. "Mary would hallucinate, and see the sky upon the wall." Could this be a use of drugs?

Really good song...

Lyrics to this have a special meaning only the artists know. I believe it has something to do with religion, yes.

I wonder if there were a site where we can find out for sure...

hmm.. really? I get the drug use and also, perhaps, she's a bit trampy? lol Especially with the unreleased version where the first verse is:
Mary was a different girl
Had a thing for astronauts
Mary was the type of girl
She always liked to fall apart
Mary was a holy girl
Father wet her appetite
Mary was the type of girl
She always liked to fuck a lot

I dunno. Maybe it's just me. But ya gotta admit, it takes on a whole new and somewhat sick meaning. My friends and I are still debating if "father" is her actual father or a priest. We've come to an impasse.
