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
