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!

St. Patrick's Day
Passed away
Don't let the road rise up to meet ya
Don't let this world beat ya
Even if
It don't recognize
What we did
With our lives
Before it heart attacked us
Great big heartatalex
Lyrics written in italics
My life - who would've imagined
And it only happens once
Like falling in love
A punch in the gut
And the breath you lose
And the air you breathe
We lost you
As he turned 13
St. Patrick's Day
Passed away
A toast could be raised
To yesterdaze
But what's in a name?
Just fade away
Fade away
