This song was inspired by Diane's reaction
to the LOVELY weather here in Phoenix.
She felt 108 degrees was a little
too hot for human beings and thought she had landed on Mars!
By the way, there IS a Starbucks across the street from my house and a Haboob is what they call our Dust Storms here. She had the pleasure of being caught in one.
THE STARBUCKS ON MARS BLUES

I really need a cup of coffee
And there's a Starbucks across the street
But it's getting so damn hot out
I'm afraid I'll burn my feet
The pavement gets so toasty
It nearly melts your shoes
I got the Starbucks on Mars Blues
What kind of crazy place is this
That you have to stay indside
you leave your house
and go thru hell
just to to take a ride
If the heat wasn't bad enough
Here comes a Haboob!
I got the Starbucks on Mars blues
Outside is MUCH too bright
I left my shades out in the truck
When I went there to get them
They were well and truly %#@&
My toes are slowly melting
And my bones are almost stewed
If I don't get my Starbucks
I don't know what I will do!
It's only 104 they say
Not as hot as it can get
They tell me it's a dry heat
But I'm all soaking wet
Why am I here in Phoenix
When I could be on a cruise
I got the Starbucks on Mars blues
It's all so red and dusty
No rain for so long
You didn't tell me Arizona
Was just 2 rocks from the sun
I wish I could remember
What it feels like to be cool
If I don't get my starbucks
I don't know what I'll do If
I go out my front door
I'll turn to molten lead
Maybe I'll skip the coffee
And spend the day in bed
But I'll have no cappuccino
To go with my Daily News
I got the Starbucks on Mars Blues
