[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1 chords)

Cerebral rape and pillage in a village of his choice.
Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice.
Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face.
Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place.


[Pre-Chorus]

Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes round


[Chorus]

They sing, I'm in love, what's that song
I'm in love, with that song

[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)

Runnin' 'round the house, Mickey Mouse and the Tarot cards.
Falling asleep with a flop pop video on.
If he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon?
If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe.


[Pre-Chorus]

Children by the million wait for Alex Chilton to come around


[Chorus]

They sing i'm in love, what's that song
I'm in love, with that song
I'm in love, what's that song
Yea i'm in love, with that song
