If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon?
If he was from Mars, hey that'd 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 in his time [?]
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 without a word, visible voice
Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks 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
I'm in love
What's that song?
I'm in love
With that song

Never travel far
Without a little Big Star
Uh

Hanging around the house at Mickey Mouse and Tarot cards
Falling asleep with a pop-pop video on
If he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon?
If he died in Memphis, hey that'd be cool

Children by the million wait for Alex Chilton, he gets down
Sing I'm in love
What's that song?
I'm in love
With that song
I'm in love
What's that song?
I'm in love
With that song
Yeah
