Lyrics

Little Green Men

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

This tune started out as a song called "Garbage Wrapped In Skin", but then I started heading for a lighter concept, AND THERE IT IS. Dedicated to Nina Hagen, I actually believe that there are people on this planet right now, whether they know it or not, who are part of an investigative commitee (let's say) for a higher intelligence. Some call them the Illuminati. Some call them crazy. Some don't call them at all. A ha ha ha ha, Oh no, A ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. But more of this later...

We know ya came a long way

We hope that your ship is O.K.

We hope you're gonna stick around

Maybe to save the day

Liw, Liw, Liw, Liw, Liw Liw, Liw

You look - a real keen

Even though you are green

With those big large heads

Something off of the movie screen

Liw, Liw, Liw, Liw, Liw Liw, Liw

Little Green Men, they look so funny

Funny green men

I want one to have and to hold and to

Silly green men

Where do they come from?

Should we run away, should we start to pray

Or is it a movie that they're filmin'?

Are the people on your planet

Usually in a frantic panic like they are here most of the time?

(Bla... I'm freakin' out...)

Wait a minute you, is it true

About Einstein's theory and Darwin's too?

What about war, the soul, the mind

Love, Death, God, Divine?

Little, little, little, little, little, little, little

Ladies and gentlemen of the world, it is my utmost privilege to announce to you that these Little Green Men actually do exist, for they are part of the eternal past and venture from all regions of our galaxy to find homage in our earth's center. Governments of the world have been very good at concealing these little visitors and preparing the public with loving movies and pleasant melodies (ya see, like that one -- did ya hear that? -- yes). Controlled media has to cushion the impact of the arrival of our little friends. You see, throughout history many people have claimed to see strange lights in the sky.

(Oh No)

Well, the truth of the matter is that these lights, and beings, will only reveal themselves to those who are pure of heart, for these enlightened aliens leave permanent imprinted information on the psyche of those chosen humans only to be revealed to our deteriorating planet at the point in which our civilization shall enter the new age of Light Without Heat.

Little Green Men about four foot one

Maybe they want to have some fun

Little Green Men about four foot two

Maybe he wants to mate with you

(Ooh, Ah, Eee, Etc...) [Simulated alien sex sequence]

Little Green Men about four foot three

Maybe they want to be set free

We're hoping that the human race will become part of endless time. We love you all and want you to know that in your heart and in your soul there is power bigger than the world.

Little Green Men about four foot

Maybe they wanna kick some butt

MO FO

UUUU, AAAA, EEEE, GRRR...

(Chorus repeats)

E.T.I.O.U. E.T.I.O.U.

Ba-v-ni-ni na-ni-new

Ba-nu-ni-ni-na-ni-new Bda-da

Ba-nu-ni-ni-na-ni-new, Bra-da-di-dat
