[Verse 1]
She came straight out of Africa, met her on the dunes of the Levant
To my Neanderthal anima, her shapely form and sophistication did enchant
Entwined with a sultry homo sapien, as we chill through the Pleistocene
But I won't be there to see it end, so will you still love me into the Holocene?
[Chorus 1]
And my fears erode, my love
'Cause I'm now in your genetic code, my immigrant lover
Might have been your kind, my love
Who brought about my decline, my immigrant lover?
I may be extinct, my love
But I live on through our link, my immigrant lover
I don't fear the void, my love
'Cause our fates are now conjoined, my immigrant lover
[Verse 2]
He came straight out of planet Earth, met him in a bar on a Jovian moon
The songs and stories that I've heard made my colonial life appear to be so out of tune
Entwined with a charming Terran man, as I get the first taste of my beloved homeworld
Of off-world living, he's a fan, and I relished as all his space-age daydreams unfurled
[Chorus 2]
I've never been home, my love
Only lived on orbits and in domes, my immigrant lover
But your music and poems, my love
Made me feel the oceans and loam, my immigrant lover
As our kind expands, my love
Into the unknown holding hands, my immigrant lover
In a ship with you, my love
Let's find a world that's green and blue, my immigrant lover
[Verse 3]
It came straight out of Trappist One, we met out in interstellar space
It's transmission I did not shun, and for the first time ever, our species embrace
Although we harbored some reluctance, all notions of fear and suspicion died as contact was made
Speech and language became redundant as through some mental medium, our truest feelings we conveyed
[Chorus 3]
It felt forbidden, my love
But we were both clearly smitten, my immigrant lover
Will this even work, my love
As our differences will always lurk, my immigrant lover
How will you be perceived, my love
Inspire hate or be well-received, my immigrant lover
The storms we weather, my love
We'll brace them all together, my immigrant lover
She came straight out of Africa, met her on the dunes of the Levant
To my Neanderthal anima, her shapely form and sophistication did enchant
Entwined with a sultry homo sapien, as we chill through the Pleistocene
But I won't be there to see it end, so will you still love me into the Holocene?
[Chorus 1]
And my fears erode, my love
'Cause I'm now in your genetic code, my immigrant lover
Might have been your kind, my love
Who brought about my decline, my immigrant lover?
I may be extinct, my love
But I live on through our link, my immigrant lover
I don't fear the void, my love
'Cause our fates are now conjoined, my immigrant lover
