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?
