    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote this song years ago when I was living in Minneapolis- back in 1984 I think it was, while I was kind of going to school at the U. of Minnesota, while I was renting a small room in a house a little bit off of Dinkeytown. I remember it was in January I think. I can remember the snow had piled up along the roads and the curbs where the plows had dumped it.

    Lyrics
    I watch the stars and wonder if she's there
    Lookin' for me through her Xeonosphere
    They think I'm crazy to say she came
    one starry night
    And kissed me at the speed of light

    The sea was shining neath the stars of night I wandered to the shore
    and saw her in the moon's light
    She said she knew me from a world so far away
    Ten thousand light years from today
    In a world so far away

    She's just a girl from planet Xeon
    Just like any woman
    whose veins are filled with freon
    Don't think I'd like to live on
    Xeon on and on
    Though I loved her for a day
    If she comes from far away
    I'll fly across the Milky Way

    And then a message came from Perseus
    Via the mermaid who lived on Serious
    In summer's solstice
    when the moon was full in June
    She'd take me to her Xeon hume
    When the moon was full in June

    She's just a girl from planet Xeon
    Where the women laugh
    and never have their clothes on
    Maybe I'd like to live on Xeon on and on
    Where I'd love her all my days
    And eternity's O.K.
    So that's all there is that's left to say

    I watch the stars and wonder if she's there
    Lookin' for me through her Xeonosphere
    They think I'm crazy to say she came
    one starry night
    And kissed me at the speed of light
    On one starry starry night
