The song tells the story of the narrator's encounter with extraterrestrials who take him on a journey through outer space. Upon returning to Earth, he asks the alien visitors of their origin; they reply they are from a planet called Texas, "the biggest place in outer space" (a nod to Texas' "larger than life" notoriety). Rogers described the song as "the most unique song" he had done in many years.[2]
Julien Temple directed the song's music video, which features a number of special effects and cost over $600,000 to make.[2]
