Lyrics
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?
Hangin' down in Memphis all the while

I never travel far
Without a little big star
And come around 'round
If he was from Mars, then that'd be cool
And children by the million wait for Alex Chilton
Songwriters: Chris Mars, Tommy Stinson, Paul Westerberg
They sing, "I'm in love
Come on
So we will rape and pillage in a village of his choice
I'm in love, with that song
Falling asleep with a flop pop video on
Yeah, I'm in love, with that song"
Hangin' down in Memphis all the while
Oh
Oh, I'm in love, with that song?
I'm in love, what's that song?
If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon?
And if he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon?
Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place

Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice
Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face
Yeah, I'm in love, with that song?
When he comes 'round
They sing, "I'm in love
What's that song?
They sing, "I'm in love what's that song?
And children by the million sing for Alex Chilton
When he comes 'round and 'round
And children by the million sing for Alex Chilton
What's that song?
Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a file?
Runnin' 'round the house, Mickey Mouse and tarot cards
If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe
