Third Rock from the Sun

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun

She walks into Smokey's one hip at a time

Like a broken field runner, slippin' through the line

He likes the way she looks, so he calls the little wife

Says don't wait up for me, I'll be workin' late tonight

Wife hangs up the phone, bursts into tears

Calls her sister up and cries, get over here

Sister tells her boyfriend, be back in awhile

Boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile

He leaves the motor runnin', he'll only be a minute

His car drives away with teenagers in it

The driver tells his buddies, got one life to live

They scream into the night, let's get it over with

Cause and effect, chain of events

All of the chaos makes perfect sense

When you're spinnin' 'round things come undone

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun

The kid guns the gas, car starts to swerve

Heads for a semi truck, jumps the curb

Truck hits a Big Boy in the Shoney's parking lot

Flies through the air, takes out the bank clock

Clock strikes a light pole, transformer sparks

Lines go down, town goes dark

Waitress calls the cops, says she saw it all

Swears a giant alien has landed at the mall

Cops ring up the mayor, says there's panic in the streets

We hate to wake you up, but we can't find the chief

Mayor says, use your head, if he ain't in his car

He's hidin' from his wife, down at Smokey's bar

Cause and effect, chain of events

All of the chaos makes perfect sense

When you're spinnin' 'round things come undone

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun

Cause and effect, chain of events

All of the chaos makes perfect sense

When you're spinnin' 'round things come undone

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun
