Three Blue Teardrops

Lyrics

When I'd scat back to my pappy's farm we used to have so much fun
Everyone would join right in and we'd party all night long
No one had inhibitions, we used to eat drink dance and sing
Until the livestock mutilations & the elliptical crop rings...
What's that coming outta the sky over there?
Oh my gawd it's a ALIEN!!!

Well I thought I knew my business I had heard the tales before
Of rockin' martians from the skies with bright lights and guitars
Of how they'd really whoop it up with their way out stellar swing
So as ambassador to planet earth I grabbed my ol' six string

With a fifth of Wild Turkey in my pappy's huntin' stand
I sat and waited patiently for those aliens to land
When suddenly an eerie glow engulfed everything around
And I found myself floating towards and awful high pitched sound

Well there's major trouble from Ursa Minor
arcing through the Milky Way in flight
They got hearts colder than Pluto and their zoomin' past Uranus
gonna abduct you while you sleep tonight

I thought it would be just like those old songs
I'd rock the galaxy both near and far
With my little green men, we'd shoot up the top 10
and I would be a big ol' singin' star!

They're comin' for you!

Next thing I know I'm strapped down to a cold metallic slab
Electrodes on and needles in my bare appendages
They took some tissue samples and placed me in detention
and violated me in ways that I care not to mention
& even though they are so s-smart and they got all my things
Not one little green bastard knows how to play or sing
Well you may think I'm crazy based on what you heard before
But when you go to sleep tonight please lock all your doors

'cos there's major trouble from Ursa Minor
arcing through the Milky Way in flight
They got hearts colder than Pluto and their zoomin' past Uranus
gonna abduct you while you sleep tonight

I thought it would be just like the movies
I'd travel a-round at the speed of light
But Goddamn-motherfinger-son-of-a-gun
I did not have any fun
I'm only glad I made it back alright

So people whisper behind me
"Man that cat's on some gone far out trip"
Hell Jack, you don't know the half of my true story
Learn a lesson 'cos I'm warning you again

That there's major trouble from Ursa Minor
arcing through the Milky Way in flight
They got hearts colder than Pluto and their zoomin' past Uranus
gonna abduct you while you sleep tonight
