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?

Hanging down in Memphis all the while

And children by the millions

Sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round

They sing, "I'm in love

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 lucks face to face

Check-checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's Place

Children by the millions

Sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round, 'round

They sing, "I'm in love

What's that song?

Well, I'm in love with that song"

I never travel far

Without a little Big Star, ooh

Running 'round the house, Mickey Mouse and 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

Children by the millions

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
