Aliens (Christmas 1988) Lyrics

They came down
1988
Thousand spacecraft, like petals on the earth
And they had big eyes and they watched like spies
'Til they found someone who no one would believe

There you were in your underwear,
All alone, drawing comics for your church
And we took you up, and we put you under
Placed you on a table for observation

Give me a deep kiss, I am longing for distraction
Let me touch your tits, and keep you occupied
If this comes as some surprise, I am an alien
To observe you I must keep you stoned

There you lie with your doped-up eyes
Staring past the one who could love you like a Christ
You see, that's just the way that it is up here
But I cannot meddle, I will not interfere

Meet me in the park some time after the night comes
You will see a star that shines like silver, smells like gold
Follow it through fields and hills and to the landing pad
You will give birth to an alien, like me

They came down
1988
Thousand spacecraft, like petals on the earth
And they had big eyes and they watched like spies
'Til they found someone who no one would believe
