Oh go
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
Whoa oh oh
I can't even recall my name
Whoa oh oh
Times I never hardly sleep at night
Whoa 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
Whoa oh oh
Well, I can't even recall my name
Whoa oh oh
Times I never hardly sleep at night
Whoa oh oh
Well, I turned into a Martian today

Go go
Well, I turned into a Martian
Whoa oh oh
Well, I can't even recall my name
Whoa oh oh
Times I never hardly sleep at night
Whoa oh oh
Turned into a martian
Whoa oh oh
Can't even recall my name
Oh, won't you tell me what the fuck is my name, Martian
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh

    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. :)

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
