Here Comes The Morning
Lovers and Poets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here come the Martain Martians
And I wouldn't be surprised if they were riding on their Martian bike
And we have to find out right now
What kind of flavor do these Martians like

Here come the Martian Martians
And they're riding on their Martian bike
Well, we have to find out right now
What kind of ice cream do the Martians like?
Well here come the Martian Martians
Why staying in such a cheap hotel?
Maybe we should help out the Martians
Looks like the Martians ain't doin' too well

Martian time time time
Well, it's Martian rhyme time
We got a Martian rhyme for Martian Martian time
And the Martians got notebooks in their little hand
Well they're strangers in this land
Martian time It's Martian Martian time

Well, here come the Martian Martains
They're trying to fight with rocks and sticks
Don't the Martians know better?
Looks like they're up to their same old tricks
Well, here come the Martian Martians
They got notebooks in their hand
What are they trying to write down?
I guess they must be strangers in this land

Martian rhyme rhyme
Well, Martian time time
Well, you got Martian rhymes for Martian Martian time
See, the Martians have notebooks in their little hand
See, they're still strangers in this land
Martian time, it's Martian Martian time

Gentlemen tell 'em all about

Well, here come the Martians
Baking up a Martian cake
We better find out right now
What kind of flavor do these Martians make
Well, here come the Martian Martians
There're Martian schoolgirls too
Well, I like the Martian schoolgirls
And I hope they like me too
Martian rhyme rhyme rhyme
It's Martian time time time
You got the Martian rhymes for Martian Martian time

The Martians have notebooks in their little hand
Because they're strangers in this land
Martian rhyme, it's Martian Martian time
Me and Curly
Well, here come the Martian Martians
Well, they're baking up a Martian pie
I hope the Martians like me and give some to I
Well, here come the Martian Martians
Well, they're setting up a Kool-Aid stand
Where's their financial advisor?
Somebody should take him by the hand
Martian rhyme rhyme rhyme
Martian time time time
You got a Martian rhyme for Martian Martian time
And the Martians have notebooks in their little hand




They're still strangers in this land
Martian rhyme, it's Martian Martian time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lovers and Poets' song "Here Comes the Morning" are somewhat nonsensical and playful in nature, suggesting the arrival of Martian Martians riding on their Martian bikes. The singer seems curious about the Martians' preferences and behavior, asking questions such as "What kind of flavor do these Martians like?" and wondering why they are staying in a cheap hotel. The lyrics mention the Martians writing in notebooks and trying to fight with rocks and sticks, which adds to the sense of whimsy and confusion. Despite not being a serious song, it offers a playful commentary on both human curiosity and the potential for miscommunication between different beings.


The song was first released in 2008 on Lovers and Poets' album "What's to Become of Us" and features a unique blend of electronic synth-pop and indie rock. The band is made up of two artists, Shannon Hurley and Ben Eisen, who hail from California and have a background in both music composition and film scoring.
