Alex Chilton - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

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, 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 lucks face to face

Check-checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's Place

And children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round, 'round

They sing, "I'm in love, what's that song?

Well, I'm in love with that song"

I never travel far

Without a little Big Star, ooh-ooh

Runnin' 'round the house, Mickey Louse and 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!
