I was inspired by the film of the same name. Dedicated to the fabulous John Shepherd!

Words and music by Joe Guido Welsh ©2021 guidotoons ASCAP

lyrics

everything he knew he knew himself, he taught himself he built himself
 
with all of his contraptions he searched the sky at night. to see what might be out there is anybody out there



John Was Trying To Contact Aliens in a tiny little town in Northern Michigan 


John Was Trying To Contact Aliens in grandma’s garage reachin for the stars in the sky




his inventions crept into the living room he’d poke a hole in a wall and build something new

now he can send his music into space
the universal deejay coming to you live from Earth Station One

John Was Trying To Contact Aliens in a tiny little town in Northern Michigan 


John Was Trying To Contact Aliens in grandma’s garage reachin for the stars in the sky



he knew that he was different in every single way

and by the age of 14 knew that he was gay


but in a small town in Michigan what’s a boy to do

but solder some resistors and beam signals to the Moon


They say that there’s a match for everyone and while reaching for the stars he found one 

though it’s lonely in the great lake state he finally found his mate

to share his place & throw radio waves out into space


JohnWas Trying To Contact Aliens traveling the cosmos from Northern Michigan 


John Was Trying To Contact Aliens in a little tiny town with eee-lectronic sounds

 John Was Trying To Contact Aliens and found his reason for living in Northern Michigan 


John Was Trying To Contact Aliens all alone with his devices was reachin for the starsin the sky
