lyrics

She ain’t from Venus and he ain’t from Mars
But their planets were rivals amongst the milky white stars
They met on a freighter over champagne and potion
His purple skin glistered in her feline eyes

They used to dance at a place in the nebulous
Holding each other close skin to skin – fabulous
Apricot and plumb, glitter and gold
They two became one but their story has been told

Worlds apart, a war raged on
Forbidden fruit is often the sweetest song
Love is truth, shout it out from Mt. Zion
Solar flare in the belt of Orion

She sent a message by lunar satellite
It said, “Won’t you come quickly?” and he knew somthin’ wasn’t right
Her father had forbade her in the name of all orange folk
They would have to jet away or else their love would choke

Chorus

On a remote crater they decided on a pact
They would install a micro-death chip if they fell under attack
And as they watched the rings of a passing moon
She thought she saw a military ship, well it looked just like a platoon
He tried to outrun them – he did his best
In the end they were in each other’s arms, and
you know the rest
