Alien Invaders

Just found these lyrics as I tidy the house.  I seem to remember a band performance a couple of weeks ago, but none of the words were understandable at the time and it was the culmination of various band artistic differences and tears.  If I have the credits right, lyrics are by Peri, music by Archie and Peri.  Other band members are Tyler on drums and Darcy on percussion, with Archie on guitar and Peri on vocals and violin.  Their band name is The Flapjacks.

Walkin down the dark pathway
at the dead of night
I hear footsteps, I turn round
such a deadly fright

chorus:
Alien Invaders
coming right my way
Alien Invaders
gotta run away
Alien Invaders

Hiding in the shadows
trying to conceal
my very loud heartbeat
what a frightening feel

chorus

Sprinting round a corner
skiddin' in my tracks
can't really see anything
but now I can't go back

chorus

Hands are on my shoulders
I don't wanna turn around
it feels like I am in a dream
There's only one thing I can do

I gotta SCREAM!

It does sound like it should be played in a Death Metal style, but actually they were quite sweet at the time.
