10,000 Maniacs Green Children

An August day in the hills of Spain,
A pair of children emerged from a cave.
The strangest sight there alone they stood,
With skin of green and words no one had heard

The girl was stronger, the boy was weak,
And with her new mother she learned to speak
And wove a tale of a dying sun,
They left the darkness, a dark world come undone

They travelled so far, so far
Believing they came from a star

Ahhhhhh
She fell through life, through time,
Through parallel lives

The men of science, the men of fame,
The men of letters tried to explain:
Was it parallel worlds or a twist of time
To make her think she'd fallen,
Fallen from the sky?

She fell through life, through time,
Through parallel lives

A whirlwind spun them all alone,
Took them from their twilight home.
Believing they came from a star
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
