A Terra Firma Welcome (track 11)

<br>It scored E-minus on its ancestry.<br>It stuttered on the phone. They tried extensive hypnotherapy but<br>it sat there like a stone. They checked its pockets, they pumped<br>the pentathol...stole marrow from its bones...and left it naked in<br>the guest room, quite alone. They debated for a year. The casebook<br>stretched from here to here...Quoted precedents and dissidents. And<br>Johnny joined the space police and searched the stars for refugees-<br>his finger on the stunner in the name of earthly peace. And when it<br>seemed that space was empty and the moon was made of cheese, they<br>decided on a terra firma `welcome`. But, guess...Our guest was now<br>deceased...So they cut it into pieces. They sterilized them, placed<br>them in a case and charged admission. Now I`m watching television<br>and I see laughter in its eyes. I hear a rumble in the sky, They`re<br>coming for their boy!<br>----------------------------------------------------------------------
