Finger on the button
Perspiration on the forehead
Splashing puddles on the keyboard
Jerking sideways, upwards, downwards
Blisters
Spiders sing a tune, you do

You can't destroy the aliens
Can't destroy the aliens
It's painful when you're doing well
But we keep coming back

But still he tries as missiles fly
His lady keeps complaining
About the lack of conversation
Session's lasted for a day now
But he won't give up the fight

You gotta destroy those aliens
Gotta destroy the aliens
It's painful when he's doing well
But they keep coming back

Impatiently they brought him food
And forced it down his throat
'Till he was choking
Dribbled gravy, swiveled crazy
Spacey glimmer in his eyes
Likes to splatter all the aliens
Flatten all the aliens
It's painful when he's doing well
Yet still they creep on back
Creeping back for more
Still he won't give up
Though senators slap him on the back
And snap him with their instamatic
Automatic, jerkomatic
He's fanatical but ice cool
As he cannons down his aliens

Gotta destroy the aliens
It's painful when he's doing well
But still they keep on coming back

His score's just topped a million
He's killing them
A winner
Though he's getting so much thinner
And beginning to see stars
Starts to mutter
Eyelids flutter
On the point of passing out

You gotta destroy the aliens
Gotta destroy the aliens
It's painful when he's doing well
But still they keep on creeping back

The nation sighed
His mother cried
He just expired, still firing
Firing high and wide
He tried to beat them 'till the end
Tried to beat the aliens
Tried to beat the aliens
He failed, a failure
A failure
