Chino's lyrics IMO are never really about anything, they're written so as to allow interpretation, they sometimes allude to certain feelings/tastes/sensations/thoughts/imagery but it's not often they'll have a fixed narrative.

So basically, I would say your interpretation about aliens is perfectly valid, glad it means something to you.

I think Royal is by far the easiest to interpret. I totally agree about the alien theory.

My take is that it talks about someone who wants contact and wants to get away from the Earth. Seems as though he hoped they would come and help us but the contact provoked. The narrator would rather leave than stay and feels that maybe he can help them make a future attempt. He is on thier team and the antidote.

Btw, I have thought this since I first read the official lyrics. I said so here: http://www.sharinglungs.com/index.php/topic,16654.msg703908.html#msg703908

Great fucking song and imagery. It is on it's way to knocking Prince off as my favorite.

It's definitely about Extra-terrestrials. The 'Royal' bit is probably a hint towards the Royals being Reptilians.  ;)

This is something that I get.  I don't get the whole trying to read into the words, when really, he has said on many occasions that it's really about the way the songs make you feel or how he felt about a particular situation.  I imagine that the only reason I totally get it is because we are both children of the 80's where this sort of thing was constant, especially for bands like Duran Duran and The Cure (my top 2 favorites btw).  So I completely agree with dude.  If you think it's about aliens then it's about aliens.

The only song that I feel has a clear meaning, or really a clear subject is 976-EVIL.

Anyone know the original title on the studio list?  I remember there was a song called "Sleestack". What was Royal?
