Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walkin' down a sunny street to the library
Checkin' out the latest books about outer space
Goin' to the fruit stand to buy a dozen oranges
She and the books and the oranges go back to her place
[Chorus]
She tells the same old story to everyone that she knows
She's just sittin' in her room, readin' books about UFOs
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I see her sittin' on the rooftop
Perched in her lawnchair and starin' into the sky
I know somewhere in some faraway galaxy
That the gray men with telescopes are gazin' right into her eyes
[Chorus]
She tells the same old story to everyone that she knows
She's just sittin' in her room, readin' books about UFOs
One time (Whoa)
[Chorus]
Ah, she tells the same old story to everyone that she knows
She's just sittin' in her room, readin' books about UFOs
[Verse 3]
Her life revolves around all of the planets
And she is constantly aware of all the changes that occur
I'm gonna turn into a lens and focus all my attention
On finding a new planet and namin' it right after her
[Chorus]
She's tellin' the same old story to everyone that she knows
She's just sittin' in her room, readin' books about UFOs
And she tells the same old story to everyone that she knows
She's just sittin' in her room, readin' books about UFOs
Yeah
