If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon?
G Dsus2/F# A(sus4)
If he was from Mars, wouldn't that be cool?

What's that song?
Em Dsus2 Cadd9 Dsus2 Cadd9 Cadd9
I'm in love
Em Dsus2 Cadd9 Dsus2 Cadd9 Cadd9
With that song."
Verse 2 (same as Verse 1)
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.
Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place.
Chorus
Bridge
Cm7 Bb Cm7 Dsus2
I never travel far, without a little Big Star
Solo (Same as Intro)
Verse 3 (Same as Verse 1)
Runnin' 'round the house, Mickey Mouse and the Tarot cards.
Falling asleep with a flop pop video on.
If he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon?
If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe.
