A Terra Firma Welcome lyrics

Song information

Artist: The Legendary Pink Dots
Album: 9 Lives To Wonder

Lyrics

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.
