The radio's better at night and I'll tell you why
They don't care who's listenin'
But I was listenin'
And I heard some interesting words
It was really late one night and I tell you
I should've been in bed
But had the radio on instead
And this is what I heard
[Chorus]
"Hello all you people of Earth
I am watchin' from a ship that lurks
A hundred miles above the deep blue sea
I mean you no harm
So if you see me don't be alarmed
Those pretty lights in the sky
They're just me"
I told mom and dad the very next day
And said they oughtta believe me
They didn't believe me
They said lyin' was a sin
I knew I was tellin' the truth
And I turned the radio on that night
And about midnight
Sure enough I heard it again
[Chorus]
[Guitar solo]
The next day I turn on the TV and what do I see?
The Army shot down a plane
No ordinary plane
It was a UFO
I turned the TV off right there
Because I knew who they shot down
They shot down the man
I heard on the radio
I said "I told you so" to my mom and dad
But the looked like they didn't even care
I don't think they cared
Just kept watchin' that old TV
I wondered why aliens would want to come here
They're better off leavin' us for dead
And what the man said
On the radio came back to me
[Chorus]
Those pretty lights in the sky
They're just me
Those pretty lights in the sky
They're just me
