lyrics

the very first time that i met your mom
she got talking about aliens
how they've been watching us for oh so long
hovering above the pentagon
a few years later she'll get really bad
you'll rush home to try and save your dad
when he can't breathe and he seems almost dead
you'll call me crying from his hospital bed

your older brothers loved to make you scream
you say that's why you're scared of everything
stampeding elephants and little green men
ufos and shadow governments
one night you told me all about your dad
how sometimes he would get violent
kill your pets and kittens while you slept
you're still terrified that you'll be next

i have a dream where we're both circus freaks
you're a marvel on the flying trapeze
a brand new city nearly every week
we ride elephants through empty streets
