Alex Chilton

If he was from Venus Would he feed us with a spoon? If he was from Mars, then that'd be cool? Standing right on campus Would he stamp us in a file? Hangin' down in Memphis all the while And children by the million sing for Alex Chilton When he comes 'round They sing, "I'm in love And what's that song? Yeah, I'm in love With that song" Cerebral rape and pillage In a village of his choice Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice Feeling like a hundred bucks Exchanging "good luck"s face to face Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place And children by the million sing for Alex Chilton When he comes 'round They sing, "I'm in love And what's that song?" Or, "I'm in love With that song" I never travel far Without a little Big Star (ooh) Runnin' 'round the house Mickey Mouse and the tarot cards Falling asleep with a flop-pop video on And if he was from Venus Would he meet us on the moon? If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe And children by the million wait for Alex Chilton To come around, 'round They sing "I'm in love What's that song? I'm in love With that song I'm in love What's that song? Yeah, I'm in love With that song Oh! Come on!
