lyrics

…I was having a dream…
…that I was back in school in Iowa…
And it was late at night…
And I saw a bright white circular orb in the sky.
And it got bigger…
And it got bigger…
And eventually, I could see that it was a silver ship.
Entirely made of silver.
A compartment opened.
A little fellow got out.
He immediately knew my name.
I didn’t know what to make of it.
He said, “______...”
“Well, I don’t know.”
“___...”
“We could get in a lot of trouble.”
“Plus, don’t you have diseases or things like that?
“_____...”
“Okay, well if you say so…”
So we got in the car
He turned it on
And all of a sudden, we were going 200 miles an hour.
Flying through the sky, up above the clouds,
And I realized that they’d turned my car into a spaceship.
I was getting sick and nauseous.
Pretty soon, certain, I was gonna hurl everywhere.
Ahh, I’d never been in so much pain.
Just nauseous…
My throat was in my stomach.
…Finally, we landed.
…a very smooth landing
In a park
He turned off the car.
Snapped his fingers.
And the ship appeared.
He got out of the car.
Got back into his silver ship.
And I never saw it again.
