Текст песни Alex Chilton - The Replacements

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

And children by the million sing for Alex Chilton
When he comes 'round
They sing, "I'm in love
And what's that song?
Yeah, 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 luck"s face to face
Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place

And children by the million sing for Alex Chilton
When he comes 'round
They sing, "I'm in love
And what's that song?"
Or, "I'm in love
With that song"

I never travel far
Without a little Big Star (ooh)

Runnin' 'round the house
Mickey Mouse and the tarot cards
Falling asleep with a flop-pop video on
And if he was from Venus
Would he meet us on the moon?
If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe

And children by the million wait for Alex Chilton
To come around, 'round
They sing "I'm in love
What's that song?
I'm in love
With that song
I'm in love
What's that song?
Yeah, I'm in love
With that song

Oh!
Come on!
