Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She walks into Smokey's one hip at a time like a broken field runner
Slippin' through the lines he likes the way she looks
So he calls a little wife says don't wait up for me I'll be workin late tonight
Wife hangs up on the phone bursts into tears
Calls her sister up and cries get over here
[Verse 2]
Sister tells her boyfriend be back in while
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
[Verse 3]
Cause and effect, chain of events
All of the chaos makes perfect sense
When we're spinnin' round, things come undone
Welcome to the Earth, third rock from the sun
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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 street
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 hiding from his wife, down at Smokey's bar"
[Verse 6]
Cause and effect, chain of events
All of the chaos makes perfect sense
When we're spinnin' round, things come undone
Welcome to the Earth, third rock from the sun
[Verse 7]
Cause and effect, chain of events
All of the chaos makes perfect sense
When we're spinnin' round, things come undone
Welcome to the Earth, third rock from the sun
Welcome to the Earth, third rock from the sun
Welcome to the Earth, third rock from the sun
