The Legendary Pink Dots
A Terra Firma Welcome
E-minus on its ancestry
It stuttered on the phone
Tried extensive hypnotherapy
Sat there like a stone
They checked its pockets
They pumped the pentathol...
Stole marrow from its bones...
Left it naked in the guest room
Quite alone
Debated for a year
The casebook, it stretched from here to here...
Quoted precedents and dissidents
And Johnny joined the space police
And searched the stars for refugees-
His finger on the stunner
In the name of earthly peace
And when it seemed that space was empty
And the moon was made of cheese
They decided on a terra firma 'welcome'
But, guess...
Our guest was now deceased...
Rest in peace...
They cut it into pieces
They sterilized them
They placed them in a case and charged admission
Now I'm watching television
I see laughter in his eyes
I hear a rumble in the sky
They're coming...
Yes, they're coming for their boy!
They're coming...
Yes, they're coming for their boy...
