4 in the morning on a long distance drive
my F-150 goin 80 down the I-95
When I saw a strange light, I lost all sense of time
it was a casual encounter of the fourth kind
I was in a strange room I found my self hypnotized
by her gray scaley skin and sky blue eyes
I gave her a kiss after we started to flirt
and when I woke up in the morning I was home on earth
Oh honey
Whats an earth man to do?
Cuz I think she's pretty
But darling I still love you
Call me a cheat, and you would be right
I saw her again just saturday night
she left something in my arm, metalic, behind
I can't this ET outta my mind
I was back on her ship, I couldn't take the suprise
When she looks at me and tells me that her kids are mine
It's the hybridization of man and alien kind
But I swear it meant nothing, Oh baby won't you let this slide
You can't run from your past, and family's built to last
and these starseed kids they sure grow fast
I see them peeking through the windows and worm holes through the walls
I keep sneaking out at night to answer their calls
and they say
Daddy
We're gonna take you away
and next time we get you
you're coming home to stay
So now I guess that I'm leaving, whats an earth man to do?
but Darling, I,
Earth angel, I still love you
