Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm an alligator
I'm a mama-papa coming for you
I'm a space invader
I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' bitch for you
[Verse 2]
So keep your mouth shut
Aww, you're squawking like a pink monkey bird
And I'm busting up my brains for the words
[Verse 3]
Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah
[Verse 4]
Don't fake it baby
Oh, lay the real thing on me
You know the church of man, love
Oh that's such a holy place to be
But don't fake it baby
Make me know you really care
Make me jump into the air
[Verse 5]
Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah
[Verse 6]
Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah
Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah
