I Turned Into A Martian Lyrics

Possession of the mind is a terrible thing, it's a Transformation with an urge to kill
Not the body of a man from Earth
Not the face of the one you love, 'cause

Well, I turned into a martian woah oh oh
I can't even recall my name woah oh oh
Times I never hardly sleep at night woah oh oh
Well I turned into a martian today

I walk down city streets
On an unsuspecting human world
Inhuman in your midst
This world is mine to own, 'cause

Well, I turned into a martian woah oh oh
I can't even recall my name woah oh oh
Times I never hardly sleep at night woah oh oh
Well I turned into a martian today

Well, I turned into a martian woah oh oh
I can't even recall my name woah oh oh
Times I never hardly sleep at night woah oh oh
I turned into a martian
I can't even recall my name woah oh oh
Won't you tell what the fuck is my name?, Woah oh oh Martian Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh

Haha i love it when people try to take Misfits songs and get deep into the lyrics and try to make it seem like it actually has a real deep meaning. It doesnt. It's about a horror movie,and,like most Misfits songs,doesnt really have much to do with any of the band member's real lives.

Discharge is fuckin' right!! The Misfits music ain't real deep kids, it's a lot of horror and early sci-fi movies mixed with mid-century Hollywood fast-lane attitude.

Musicians don't always write songs to spill their guts, you emo freaks, sometimes songs are Just For Fun!!

lol. right on. see my other comment. it's probably inspired by "invasion of the body snatchers" i love the misfits but i am reading the comments here on all their songs to laugh at ppl overthink it.

Although I know that the Misfits don't write songs pertaining to their personal lives most of all of the material is horror/fiction. However, Danzig indulged in drugs in his early youth, this song may be a reference to that time in his life where he felt like a "Martian" from doing drugs/alcohol. The reference to "sometimes I never sleep at night" fits in with that theme. Drugs mess with your mind, especially if you abuse them, turning you into well, a Martian.

Great classic song by a great classic band... No Use For a Name does a great remake of this song on Live In a Dive...

This song may have been influenced by the Ray Bradbury story "Dark They Were And Golden Eyed." It's also one of my favorites. But then again I like almost everything the original Misfits came out with. :)

I 1st heard this song in spanish by 2 minutos, a good punk band from argentina, then i listen to this one and yes this one is much better. and about its meaning well it's about umm getting lost in the constant anger of our daily meaningless lives?

KICK ASS- i love this song. GO MISFITS

It would be cool to turn into a Martian. This song might not be about turning into a Martian but about being a confused teenager-although this is the misfits, i bet the sci-fi idea is more realistic

it's about puberty
