Xenomorph Waltz

[Intro] we come in peace! [Verse 1] The sky lit up like a bad app notification Scrolling letters ten stories high across the clouds “We come in peace” in perfect corporate font While the comments section already declared war out loud The news anchors practiced their serious faces The influencers went live from their rooftops in lace Someone started a GoFundMe for first contact merch And the bots were already arguing about who shot first [Pre-Chorus] One-two-three, everybody spin One-two-three, who’s cashing in? [Chorus] Xenomorph waltz in the sky tonight “We come in peace” in scrolling light But we’re already loading the guns and the likes Xenomorph waltz — we’re dancing with knives [Verse 2] The governments argued over who gets to greet them While defense contractors were already drawing up patents The prophets on podcasts said it was all a distraction From the last thing they swore was the end of the world last week Someone tried to trademark the word “alien” Someone else said the message was clearly a threat The feed split in half between “they’re already here” And “it’s all CGI, go back to bed” [Pre-Chorus] One-two-three, panic and spin One-two-three, who’s cashing in? [Chorus] Xenomorph waltz in the sky tonight “We come in peace” in scrolling light But we’re already loading the guns and the likes Xenomorph waltz — we’re dancing with knives [Bridge] They came with a message and we gave them a circus They came with an olive branch and we gave them a surface To fight over while the sky kept spelling it out “We come in peace” while we figured out Who to blame, who to cancel, who to sell it to first [Final Chorus] Xenomorph waltz in the sky tonight “We come in peace” in scrolling light But we’re already loading the guns and the likes Xenomorph waltz — we’re dancing with knives A XENOMORPH WALTZ A WALTZ... IT'S A XENOMORPH WALTZ "WE COME IN PEACE" FIRE EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT just a waltz.... [Outro - Music plays to news broadcast channel flipping to fade out] One-two-three… spin One-two-three… cash in Xenomorph waltz… We come in peace… We come in peace… We come in… (peace was never the product)
