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
Hanging down in Memphis all the while.
Children by the million sing
For Alex Chilton when he comes around
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 lucks face to face.
Checking his stash by the trash
At St.Mark's place.
Children by the million sing
For Alex Chilton when he comes around
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
Running around the house,
Mickey 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,
Then that'd be cool, babe.
Children by the million sing
For Alex Chilton when he comes around
They sing I'm in love.
What's that song
I'm in love with that song.
I'm in love with that song.
I'm in love with that song.
Oh oh
