Lyrics
[verse]
No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space

It was thought to be an ordinary falling star, but next day there was a huge crater in the middle of the Common

"The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one – but still they come!"
[verse]
Next morning, a crowd gathered on the Common, hypnotized by the unscrewing of the cylinder

[verse]
A huge, rounded bulk, larger than a bear, rose up, slowly, glistening like wet leather.
[guitar]
[verse]
Its lipless mouth quivered and slavered, and snake-like tentacles writhed as the clumsy body heaved and pulsated.
[organ]
[chorus]
"The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one," he said.
"The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one – but still they come!"
[guitar]

[organ]
[dramatic drums]
"still they come!"
[guitar]
still they come
[organ]
still they come
[guitar organ drums]
[choir]
still. they. come
[outro] [fade out]
"The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one," he said.
[guitar]
