Altogether Alone

It came

It came like a thief

In the night, I happened to be looking out through the window

I swear it was brighter than Hell

Man, I saw a light

Through the window, it was hovering above the house next door

I froze

I froze like a stone

All alone

I swear my hair stood up and I said a prayer to end all prayers

I reached for the phone

But the phone was dead

Next the glowing ball turned red

And a voice inside my head

Said, boss, go on back to bed

From now on you are gonna be able to see

From now on you are gonna be all at once with peace and harmony

In rhyme and reason altogether alone

It came

It came like a song

In the day, the way I play when I get off on a feeling

Of wheeling and soaring through space

Like the word what flows

Like the lover as it explodes, kicking off the start of time

I froze

I froze like a stone

All alone

I swear my hair stood up and I said a prayer to end all prayers

I reached for the phone

But the phone was dead

Next the glowing ball turned red

And a voice inside my head

Said, Fred, go on back to bed

From now on you are gonna be able to see

From now on you are gonna be all at once with peace and harmony

In rhyme and reason altogether alone

Rhyme and reason, altogether alone

Rhyme and reason, altogether alone
