I was walking to school the other day I was wearing my totally rad outfit Everybody was loomking at me like I was awesome And I knew that I was completely awesome I walked into the classroom All my classmates were speechless There jaws dropped and they hit the floor And I swung my arms It came from Mars It was right outside my window It came from Mars So I punched it in the left knee And I ran away screaming And it grabbed me by the head It looked me in my two eyes And this is what it said "I come from Mars." It came from Mars naNa Na naNa Na It came from Mars naNa Na naNa Na It came from Mars naNa Na naNa Na It came from Mars naNa Na naNa Na It came from... My wardrobe is amazing I wear everything that rocks I catch people's eye from miles away And they say, "Woah! Who's that bodacious fella?" My teacher gave me an A for style And she asked me out on a date I said, "No. I don't think you could handle all the surfing and the partying and the drinking and the surfing." It came from Mars And it landed in my backyard It came from Mars And it threw a big ol' barbecue And everyone is invited We were all frightened and afraid But it gave us all big bags of salt and we were happy 'till forever It came from Mars And it flew around my body It came from Mars It flew over the hilltop It came from Mars it flew right over my father It came from Mars it flew out the door and then it flew back in It came from Mars And I was totally surprised

Golden Diamonds Give me all your golden diamonds, baby This here's not a stick-up It's Christmas Found my way to a Christmas Gala Ball And I busted in through the wall They started screamin' at the top of their lungs But I just started firin' my guns I said "Pipe down! Where's your Christmas spirit? I been a real good boy all year!" Golden Diamonds Give me all your golden diamonds, baby This here's not a stick-up It's Christmas! I remember them Christmas songs That my Momma used to sing me But I ain't Momma's little boy no more And if they find him their gonna hang me But if they take me Momma don't cry Just go and find the treasure Buried under neath the sign that says, "Golden Diamonds: Here's all the golden diamonds I stole If you want them have them For Christmas."

Last week was a very special day Things were there and everything was okay Malt shops selling soda pops The sun was perfectly orange And there I saw her Drinking an orange soda in the orange sun Was Brain Impaler She was perfect Webbed feet and a crooked nose She makes my heart stop Every time I smell her Brain Imapler I love you We shared our arms and carried things My hours were bliss and infinitely cool And then it happened again... Again... Brain Impaler had made me cry And the pain it really sucked Brain Impaler made me die And now I'm totally not cool Webbed feet and a crooked nose She makes my heart stop Every time I smell her Brain Imapler I love you Now it's a new day My skin is still totally fresh Everything is turning around again Brain Impaler left me alone And the sun has turned yellow Everything are things that cry And I am alone Brain Impaler goodbye Webbed feet and a crooked nose She makes my heart stop Every time I smell her Brain Imapler goodbye
