Alright then, 
Picture this if you will 


10 to 2AM and actually heating up 
The old box of Krispy Kremes at my 
Need-to-know post just outside of 
Area 51 contemplating the whole 
"Chosen people" thing but just then 
A flaming stealth banana split the 
Sky,like, wide open never really 
Expect to see it in a place like this 


I think, I think, I'm gonna gonna 
Die but something right inside my 
Birkenstocks began fuming 
Holy fucking shit... 
(Holy fucking shit...)(x4) 


Then the x-files beings who were like 
Some kind of blue-grey Jackie Chan 
With Isabella Rossellini lips and breath that reeked 
And they're wicked-shot terrorists all by making the sound 
Abananadabanana 
So when I opened up my bug eyes, my gaping jaw and my.. 
Sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip and all I could think was... 
I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice that I pissed my fuckin pants 


So alive in this way 
Like an apparition 
And you had me crying out 
Fuck me 
It's gotta be 
Deadhead chemistry 
The bottom covering the top of me. 
It's got me seeing E motherfucking T. 


And after calming me down with some 
Orange slices and some fetal spooning 
ET revealed to me his singular purpose 
He said "You are the chosen one. 
The one who'll deliver the message. 
A message of hope for those who choose to hear it, 
And a warning for those who do not." 


Me, the chosen one. 
They chose me 
And I didn't even graduate from fucking high school. 


You'd better... 
You'd better... 
You'd better... 
You'd better listen. 


Then he looked right through me 
With somniferous almond eyes 
Don't even know what that means 
Must remember to write it down 
This is surreal 
Like the time they floated away 
See, my heart is burning 
Cause this shit never happens to me 


Can't breathe right now 
It was so real, 
Like I woke up in Wonderland 
Also a bit terrifying 
I don't want to be all alone 
When I tell this story 
And can anyone tell me why 
It was a repeat experience 
Will I ever be coming down? 
This is so real 
Finally, it's my lucky day 
See my heart is racing 
'Cause this shit never happens to me 


I can't breathe right now 


You believe me don't you? 
Please believe what I just said 
See them telling children 
And this wasn't all in my head 
See they took a hold of my hand 
And invited me right in 
Then they showed me something 
I don't even know where to begin 


Strapped down to my bed 
Feet cold and eyes red 
I'm out my head. 
Am I alive? Or'm I dead? 
Can't remember what they said 
Goddamn 
Shit the bed 


Overwhelmed as one would be 
Placed in my position 
Such a heavy burden now to be the one 
Born to bear and read you all 
The details of our ending 
To write it down for all the world to see 
But I forgot my pen 
Shit the bed again 
Typical 


Strapped down to my bed 
Feet cold and eyes red 
I'm out of my head 
Am I alive or'm I dead? 
Sunkist and sudafed 
Gyroscopes and infrared 
Won't help the braindead 
Can't remember what they said 
Goddamn 
Shit the bed 


I can't remember what they said to me 
Can’t remember what they said to 
Make me out to be a hero 


Can't remember what he said 
Mom, help me 
Can’t remember what he said 


Don't know 
Won't know... 
Goddamn, shit the bed
