She walks into Smoky's one hip at a time like a broken field runner

Slippin through the line

He likes the way she looks so he calls the little wife says don't wait

up for me I'll be working late tonight

Wife hangs up the phone bursts into tears calls her sister up and cries

get over here



Sister tells her boyfriend be back in a while boyfriend wants a beer the

store is just a mile

He leaves the motor running he'll only be a minute

His car drives away with teenagers in it

Driver tells his buddies got one life to live

They spring into the night, let's get it over with

chorus

cause and effect, chain of events all other chaos makes perfect sense

when your spinning round, things come undone

welcome to earth third rock from the sun



The kid hits the gas car starts to swerve heads for a semi truck jumps

the curb

Truck hits the bigboy in the Shoney's parking lot flies through the air

takes out the bank clock

transformer sparks, lines go down, town goes dark



waitress calls the cops says she saw it all swears a giant alien has

landed at the mall cops ring up the mayor says there's panic in the

street we hate to wake you up but we can't find the chief

mayor says use your head if he ain't in his car

he's hiding from his wife down at Smoky's Bar

chorus
