Martian Doorway

Open this doorway honey,
I'm roving tonight
Through the banded hollows
We see, we feel, we take flight.

Walk right through to the other room
I see a couple brooms,
I see a janitor's closet,
I see some computers, too.

Walk through this Martian Doorway,
The Moon landing was real---
Buzz Aldrin and Harry Hapsburg
Have walked there for some cheap thrills.

In the sky above us, 
There it hangs a silver thread.
A May Moon cannot lie
As toilet paper gets stolen by the feds.

Martian Doorway,
The moon it is not a lie...
Yet what lies beyond that doorway,
Is it yet another artificial sky?

Our generation is so hollow,
Its achievements a rare feast.
There is nowhere left to wallow,
So out of the ocean came the beast.

And there he walked through shadows,
And there he walked through fame.
Oh, Martian Doorway,
Is the truth ever so lame?

Martian Doorway,
The moon, it is not a lie
What lies beyond that doorway,
Is it yet another artificial sky?

Fact checkers, and ministries of truth---
They have you afraid of Cooties,
For the common man ain't no sleuth.

Then the feds change the almanac,
Thinking they have power over I.
They leave the time at 6:16
My God, It was seven once upon a time!

O, the blind bats sing the door jams,
Green Day skates on thin ice,
Joe Satriani is questioned,
Whether a keyboard warrior's information was right!

Martian Doorway,
The moon, it is not a lie
What lies beyond that doorway
Is it the discovery of foreign life?

Then the hoodoos are falling,
The blimps descend like Babylon,
The peoples all do their crossings,
As they see the alien in lights.

Ooo, Martian Doorway,
The moon, it is not a lie
What lies beyond that doorway
Is it the discovery of foreign life?

Walk into that room and you'll see,
No starship nor star command.
You'll see a spook in overalls
That he is but a man.

There he steals the toilet paper,
He tries to change the almanac,
Yet, it is a complete failure,
They are crazy like Animaniacs.

Ooo, Martian Doorway,
The moon, it is not a lie.
What lies beyond that doorway?
Is it but another white lie?
