Alien Injection (Falcone)
Dig a the, Dig a the, Dig a the earth . . .
Dig a the, Dig a the, Dig a the earth . . .

It's an alien injection, that's what she needs
An alien injection for all our infections
One little boost to see the up and the coming
A solution we pray: Help is on the way

Saw her today, she looked dead
It could be, I heard she died
Scan the paper, touch the ink
She finally got her name in print

That's all I see, that's all I need
I don't know time, I don't know space
Lots of creatures just like her
They dance with rhythm, then they pull away

Rattle and reach — I come apart
Rattle and reach — to put together again
Rattle and reach — make images
Rattle and reach — to dig out . . .

Send her flowers she can't wear
Send a card that she can't read
This happens when the children stay
Out too late and really start to play

And the boat that she rows on the delta narrow
is an antique ship that salt water will rip
And the scarf-covered course
that once bridled a horse
Soon tames a black cat
and makes others grow fat

Rattle and reach — I come apart
Rattle and reach — to put together again
Rattle and reach — make images
Rattle and reach — to dig out . . .


Dig a the, Dig a the, Dig a the earth . . .
Dig a the, Dig a the, Dig a the earth . . .

It's an alien injection, that's what she needs
An alien injection for all our infections
One little boost to see the up and the coming
A solution we pray, and help is on the way

Rattle and reach — I come apart
Rattle and reach — to put together again
Rattle and reach — make images
Rattle and reach — to dig out and dig in

(Just give it a day, help is on its way)

I like to wear my alien close to my heart
It's such a cool t-shirt,
I bought 2 right from the start
I guess you could say I treat it
like a piece of art
This alien that I wear so close to my heart

I've got a round alien ball to boot
She comes to life when I squeeze her roots
I keep it in a box, in a closet, in a room,
in a house, in a country, in a world,
in a planet, and I hope she'll live forever
Mmm . . . I hope she'll live forever . . .
