lyrics

Just the other day, I swear I saw it.
Yellow eyes, peeking out of the brush.
Though the media would like to deny it,
I swear, it spoke in a guarded hush.
The contents of that conversation
Are somewhat classified.
And I don't know how long I stood there;
Time froze and flew by at the very same time.
The gist of it was somewhat akin
to life demystified.
Which I why I am pissed I don't remember
That Lion's diatribe.
But of course, of course how could they trust us
Lowly human beings with such divine information?
Knowing full well we'd turna dn spill the beans
The the general population, the general population.
I suppose you're all sitting there wondering
"What the hell does this girl mean?"
Let me take a moment, my friends,
And bring you all up to speed.

Here is how it all went down:

I woke up this morning, a day like any other.
I flipped on the morning news.
A fluff piece of journalism, you know the ones,
Designed to detract from our world so cruel.
I saw a fella there, hair unkempt, a wild look in his eye,
What an interesting dude.
The sound faded up and the newsreporter
Asked him to expound on his unique views.
Here is a synapses of what he said:
[SPOKEN WORD]
The anchorman scoffed and he kinda smirked,
Thinking this guy couldn't be serious.
By that time I had to go, I grabbed my cup of joe,
Ran out of the house feeling a little delirious.
I got in my car, I didn't get too far
Before the traffic was lined up as far as I could see.
It was stop-and-go, interminably slow
I had plenty of time to think about his prophecy.
Then all in a flash, I almost crashed,
Some asshole was trying to switch into my lane.
The car jerked and swayed, my coffee sprayed,
I yelled, "What are you, fucking INSANE?!"
I was covered in joe, pulled my car off the road
And I hoped that my anger would melt away.
Then, as if from my head, I heard a voice that said,
"You were never in any danger anyway."
My eyes opened wide and they fixed on some pines
And I swear that I saw some eyes looking at me.
I got out and stood, I braced myself on the hood,
And I started to walk towards those trees.
Now that we're on the same page,
Let's go back to the refrain....
