Alex Chilton Lyrics - Patty Griffin

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?
