(solo acoustic:)
i have seen him circling the skies
colored green, his melancholy eyes
theyβll be soaked in his tears, theyβll be deafened by his cries
one by one, kingdom come, kingdom dies
one by one, kingdom come, kingdom dies
(enter piano:)
(enter female harmony:)
so on the ground heβll travel in disguise
coming down, unraveling the ties
changing color, this creature can take on any size
big or small, still they all say he lies
big or small, still they all say he lies
now thereβs a madman who is traveling through outer space
heβs merely trying to find a new land for the human race
but how the clock is winding down, heβs got 1000 years
to travel back to earth and erase all their fears
to usher in a new age βtil itβs right in your face
just trust the madman, trust the alien from outer space
now we see him covered by the flies
by the third day he will surely rise
now the fourth day has come, doubting thomas now denies
now that weβve sacrificed all our lives
he should come down and apologize
alien jesus, alien buddha
alien allah, alien ra
conquered time in his prime
a sublime paradigm
of how one man can escape the clutches of time
aliens never win in their lifetime
(make me grin, itβs me you mime)
next time round, if you could be found, you will be mine
(ainβt no sin, just a copycat crime)
alien, time to begin, take your time
(so-o so-o so-o, take your time)

(written summer 2007)
a patented pella-vision party pieceβ¦
pellabear started with a poem in the fall of 2006. during a stoned afternoon, i started setting the words to music. the descending chord sequence was the initial flash of inspiration (in the key of Cmajor)

(according to brit reviewer:)
βby the time youβre into βall-american alienβ itβs starting to grate a little. it starts as a sixties folk pastoral but pretty soon the stupid thick-voiced stoner voice comes in on the chorus and marcβs guitar starts noodling away. itβs like βsmiley smileβ without the charmβ
