Who's There Lyrics
You you look to the stars for answers
Your face glowing in blue
You smile at the thought that there's something out there
Suddenly a smile turns to a stare
A million tiny light bulbs shining
Through celluloid across the country
Little green men
Eyes shielded with a shaky hand
The women screaming
And the children gather and wonder
[Chorus]
Who's there
Who's there
Fond of a night out in California
It's late an interruption in space
You smile could there be someone out there
Suddenly the smile has been erased
The radio crackled voices
With obvious and used excuses
Blue gas burning above
Flicks and cartoons bumber stickers
In preparation for tomorrow
And the children gather and wonder
[Repeat Chorus]
A million tiny bulbs exploding
Out the theatre doors they're screaming
Ushers pick up treasures
Little nervous mens co-ordinance point at the moon
And the children gather and wonder
[Repeat Chorus 2x]
Your face glowing in blue
You smile at the thought that there's something out there
Suddenly a smile turns to a stare
A million tiny light bulbs shining
Through celluloid across the country
Little green men
Eyes shielded with a shaky hand
The women screaming
And the children gather and wonder
Who's there
Who's there
It's late an interruption in space
You smile could there be someone out there
Suddenly the smile has been erased
The radio crackled voices
With obvious and used excuses
Blue gas burning above
Flicks and cartoons bumber stickers
In preparation for tomorrow
And the children gather and wonder
Out the theatre doors they're screaming
Ushers pick up treasures
Little nervous mens co-ordinance point at the moon
And the children gather and wonder

LOVE THIS SONG. I think its a chronicalization of the reaction of people to alien invasion.
I think it's about childhood innocence, the children, still young and innocent, haven't been fed the propaganda that all aliens are gonna kill us, they, in their innocence, don't worry about what the aliens will do, but in fact, who they are........?
As in, "Who's there" ahem, the song title?
I am the only 1 to comment?!?!? o well. i think this song is a little self-explanitory: it's a story about people being invaded by aliens and wondering who, exactly, is there.if you wanna go deeper in meaning be my guest.
really strange story...but this song rocks...i love the solo...i did an amazing powerpoint project on this song but i threw it out cause it was back in the 3 1/2 floppy A stufff...long time ago...but it was legit
