The Replacements:Alex Chilton 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
Hanging down in Memphis all the while
Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton
When he comes around
Singing, "I'm in love, what's that song
Yeah, I'm in love with that song"
So we will 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 lucks face to face
Checkin', checking his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place
Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton
When he comes around
They sing, "I'm in love, what's that song
Oh, I'm in love with that song"
I never travel far
Without a little Big Star
Ooh
Running 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
And come around
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
