A Terra Firma Welcome (Track 11) - Lyrics by Legendary Pink Dots


Lyrics
It scored E-minus on its ancestry.
It stuttered on the phone. They tried extensive hypnotherapy butit sat there like a stone. They checked its pockets, they pumpedthe pentathol...stole marrow from its bones...and left it naked inthe guest room, quite alone. They debated for a year. The casebookstretched 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 itseemed that space was empty and the moon was made of cheese, theydecided on a terra firma 'welcome'. But, guess...
Our guest was nowdeceased...
So they cut it into pieces. They sterilized them, placedthem in a case and charged admission. Now I'm watching televisionand I see laughter in its eyes. I hear a rumble in the sky, They'recoming for their boy!----------------------------------------------------------------------
