Slippery People Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Trebuchett 

Cover art for Slippery People lyrics by Talking Heads

Seems to me this is a song about aliens - slippery people - landing on earth during a time of turmoil and offering a solution.

Some people are not ready to accept the aliens, and the people that see them as the only hope are trying to dissuade those that would want to kill them.

My Interpretation

@Trebuchett Did the aliens show up yet?
