Alex Chilton lyrics

If he was from Venus

Would he feed us with a spoon?

If he was from Mars,

Wouldn`t that be cool?

Standing right on campus

Would he stamp us in a file?

Hangin` down in Memphis all the while



Children by the million

Sing for Alex Chilton

When he comes `round

They sing "I`m in love

What`s that song?

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 looks face to face

Checkin` his stash by the trash

At St. Mark`s place



Children by the million

Sing for Alex Chilton

When he comes `round

They sing "I`m in love

What`s that song?

I`m in love with that song"



I never travel far

Without a little big star



Runnin` round the house

Mikey Mouse and the Tarot cards

Falling asleep with a flop pop video on

If he was from Venus

Would he meet us on the moon?

If he died in Memphis, wouldn`t that be cool?
