Big Black Furry Creature From Mars Lyrics

Big Black Furry Creature from Mars

When I get home from work, what do I do?
I try to kill you!
When I get home from work, what do I do?
I try to kill you!

And why would I try to kill you?

Because you're a...
Big black furry creature from Mars (4x)

When we go out to eat, what do I do?
I try to kill you!
When we go out to eat, what do I do?
Oh, I am killing you!

Now why would I go and do that?

Because you're a...
Big black furry creature from Mars (4x)

I'm runnin, I'm runnin from you
I'm runnin, I'm runnin!

And what causes me to run?

Cause you're a...
Big black furry creature from Mars (12x)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Tony. Are. You. SERIOUS.

I hope you are a big black furry creature from mars.

That being said, this song is about the paradoxical world we live in where we try and balance work and play and don't want the two to co-mingle. We all try to suppress the big monster inside of us and the never ending struggle to climb the corporate ladder. In the end, most fail, all die, and none succeed. Little do we know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel waiting to take us down that righteous path to eternity. Where we can go live on mars.

Just kidding...it's a freakin fun song where you can play your instruments really hard and fast and yell about silly creatures in your house. Have you ever tried stabbing a BBFCFM? It's hilarious!
