lyrics

Don't know where you were born
But I found you by the flying saucer wreck out in the corn
You took the form
Of a heavy set black cat while getting zapped up in the storm
You shapeshifting ray got destroyed in the crash
You're stuck as a feline with no way to ever get back
But don't you fear
cuz I'll always be here
And I'll always love you

You're always making awful sounds
When you read the "Earth Book Of Cats"
You read it upside down
Can hardly meow
Doesn't matter
You're still better
Than and Earth cat around

And maybe one day I can see your true self
Did you have nine eyes? Little tentacles? Ears like an Elf?
Don't be afraid
About the CIA
Cuz i'll hide you

No Need to pretend girl
I know that you're not of this world
An angel from the stars
You landed in my heart
First contact
Love at first sight
You're the light of my life
So astral baby, don't say maybe
Stay with me

You're welcome here in my home
I hope you don't feel alone
You're hiding a ship in you're room
I hope you're not leaving soon

The sun and the stars aligned
At the perfect time
Of all the planets to land on
I'm glad it was mine

I cried when I realized you
Loved me too
Cuz that ship in your bedroom
Has room for two
