On a CD of drum samples I've got, I found a bunch of weird little filtered drum sounds that were kind of outer-spacey, in a weird, cartoonish way. So, naturally, that leads to Martians, UFOs, and trips to the sun.

I got out of my bed, I turned the radio on
Then the Martians took me in the UFO to the sun
They said they wanted the earth
They said that I could help them
And then they did experiments on my brain

The Martians led me from my home
And they took me to the sun
I saw the universe before they brought me home
They showed me things that I thought were quite obscene
They put things in my head
Now I see them in my dreams

And the stars shone through the universe
I was so far away from home
And though I was very alone
It was all so beautiful

I wonder if they'll come, and take me with them again
On the round trip in their UFO to the sun
