That accidentally found its way aboard and stowed away 

For three years it remained undetected on the moon 

It was the only living creature there 

"I'm all alone 

I'm all alone 

Behold the mystery that is me"

"You're not alone 

You're not alone 

Behold the mystery that is me" 

Soon they figured out the heinous error they had made 

And now the earthly germ had something else it seemed to say...
