Space Invaders Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Space invaders flying home
And they're going to hit the sack
And they're probably going to die getting high
Cause they're mixing crazy moments with the crack

And she's kissing all the boys
She's too clever to be slack
But she's bound to go away for a day
And she'll like it, so she won't be coming back

[Hook]
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days have died
Baby, baby, baby
Now won't you dry your pretty eyes
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days are dead
Come on

[Verse 2]
Spot big bell bottom cords
And a matching with a hat
And you're a rule breaker, baby
Can't you see me standing only in your way to hit the sack
And she's kissing all the boys
She's too clever to be slack
But she's bound to go away for a day
And she'll like it, so she won't be coming back

[Hook]
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days have died
Baby, baby, baby
Won't you dry your pretty eyes
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days are dead
Come on

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
