Lyrics The Legendary Pink Dots

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..
