[Verse 1]
The sky tore open slow
Over the soybean rows
A silver wound in the dark
Lit up the backyard cold
Boots hit the red mud first
No fear in their mirror skin
They moved like they already knew
Every secret under my skin
[Pre-Chorus]
They said, "Come close"
With hands like rain
Cold little symbols
Burned in my brain
The dogs went quiet
The clocks all stopped
I saw your face
When the first one dropped
[Chorus]
Come down, come down
Moon in your mouth
Alien girls
On the way to town
Come down, come down
Take me higher now
Alien girls
Make the whole world bow
[Verse 2]
Your porch light shook and cracked
When they walked through the corn
You in your torn white dress
Looked like you were born for this storm
One had gold in her eyes
One had stars in her throat
They traced a line on your wrist
Like they were writing a note
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "Stay here"
But I stepped in
The air went sweet
Then it split again
Their fingers curled
Around my name
I felt the earth
Forget its shame
[Chorus]
Come down, come down
Moon in your mouth
Alien girls
On the way to town
Come down, come down
Take me higher now
Alien girls
Make the whole world bow
[Bridge]
[Sax Solo]
She leaned in close with a midnight grin
Said, "Baby, let the human truth begin"
Then twin guitars screamed like twin blades drawn
While her silver breath kept me hanging on
[Chorus]
Come down, come down
Moon in your mouth
Alien girls
On the way to town
Come down, come down
Take me higher now
Alien girls
Make the whole world bow
[Outro]
Take my hand
Let the earth shake
One last look
At the dawn they make
Alien girls
Alien girls
