Verse 2

I'm from a planet near a star

You wouldn't know, it's very far

They're calling me the man from Mars

Chorus

But I think they're insulting me

They tried to take my special suit

(Insulting me)

They say my head looks like fruit

(What is fruit?)

(Insulting me)

Put your hands up or I'll shoot!

Bridge

 I don't have Emhands

 Across the gDalaxy, I fClew

 Heard a peaceful mGessage sBment by yEmou

 Now I find you're jDudged by color and Csize

 I can't bDelieve what you called my...

Verse 3

I'm the guy who sailed the sky, but I think I'd like to live here

Like to share your mountains, share your trees and share your rivers

I've never seen so many beings of so many colours

I'd like one day for you to say that I could call you brothers

Chorus

(And then there was we)

I'd like to learn about your pizza and your weather

(And then there was we)

Then we could learn about how beings live together

(And then there was we)
