cantaloupes on mars

suprised to get your letter

glad you're doin' fine

but me i could be better

but i ain't one to wine

now you say you'll forgive me and let me come back home

but trusting you to be true is the only thing ive done wrong

when they grow cantaloupes on mars

i'll come back to you

when they serve quiche in country bars

and politicians tell the truth

when the world's fair comes to louisiana

and a cow really jumps the moon

when they grow cantaloupes on mars

i'll come back to you

you say you weren't unfaithful well baby that's a joke

when you went out wearing your best perfume

and you came back smelling like soap

now you say that we need to try again just for old times sake

before that ever happens a lot of things will have to change
