Météorite
Zombina & The Skeletones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw a little red meteorite
Fall from the sky last night
Picked it up and it burned my hand
But I said, "That's all right."

Meteorite, all right all right
Meteorite, that's right
Meteorite, all right all right
Meteorite, that's right

I took it home and put it down
In a bucket full of ice
I don't believe it's radioactive
It looks too cute and nice

Meteorite, all right all right
Meteorite, that's right
Meteorite, all right all right
Meteorite, that's right

Meteorites are out of site
But this ones place is in outer space
And if you wanna know, I'll tell you why
It's 'cause radiation makes you die

These days I don't feel too good
I think I'm going blind
The doctor says I got to lose it fast
But I can't leave it behind

'Cause it's my meteorite, all right all right
Meteorite, that's right




Meteorite, all right all right
Meteorite, that's right
