PRINCESS FROM SATURN © 2002 Acoustic Ross

She came from outer space to represent her race
in her little green machine
I saw her standing there, blue flowers in her hair
more beauty I’d never seen
When she turned out the lights
my wretched lonely life, it came apart at all the seams
She put her lips to mine, she dug into my spine
I lapsed into that same old dream

She came into my place, I looked into her face
she was just as scared as I
I made her feel at home, I knew she’d come alone
if she went back alone I’d die
I tried to keep her around
I burned her spaceship down and locked her in my secret room
I knew it couldn’t last
I watched through two-way glass and called the Weekly World News

I sat awake all night bathed in the firelight
she curled up in a ball on the floor
I watched her cry green tears with my surveillance gear
and slid her Pop-Tarts under the door
I felt a twinge of doubt - is this what love is about?
So this idea maybe wasn’t my best
I don’t know who I should tell, the house is starting to smell
and there’s this alien goop on my vest

Went up the second day, see if she wants to play
the door was broken clean in two
The glowing footprints told me she was on her way
raced to the field but I already knew
The silver ashes becoming her machine once more
I should have known it all along
This perfect woman, dumping me in perfect style
now all I’ve got’s this stupid song

She blasted off from me, it singed the hair off me
I stood and cried the whole night long
When I went back inside, I nearly almost died
I tried too hard, did everything wrong

So now I’m bald, alone, it’s nothing new, she’s gone
It’s like she never really came
I lie awake all night, lie in the field all night
Sometimes the stars spell out her name
