while the city's busy sleeping all your troubles lie awake I walk the streets to stop my weeping but she'll never change her ways don't fool yourself she was heartache from the moment that you met her my heart feels so still as I try to find the will to forget her somehow o h I think I've forgotten her now her love is a rose dead and dying dropping her petals and man I know all full of wine the world before her but sober with no place to go don't fool yourself she was heartache from the moment that you met her my heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her somehow she's somewhere out there now oh my tears fall down as I tried to forget the love was a joke from the day that we met all of the words, all of her men all of my pain when I think back to when remember her hair as it shone in the sun it was there on the bed when I knew what she'd done tell yourself over and over you won't ever need her again don't fool yourself she was heartache from the moment that you met her oh my heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her somehow she's out there somewhere now oh she was heartache from the day that I first met her my heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget you somehow cause I know you're somewhere out there right now

to cross the ocean and to look down this pipe love is rushing to a city bed then wires stream into an open (???) take hold of Jude, she's coming down I made like I didn't tell you don't tell it when will you wash the bodies two seven numbers with the happy take a leave and join me on the water's edge I would let you if only I could assist your death I made like I didn't tell you when they call me I made like I didn't tell you when they call me but cry, oh, your life don't go blind (???) cry... go blind (???) to get out now my sister, you didn't know how everyone needs (???) all my children are acting out crawling to bed with Edna Frau

well the aliens are coming they're coming while i'm strummin' they fill me up with such a sense of pride when the aliens do take me I hope that they will let me bring my little sister for my bride. the space men with skin of gray took my baby child away now they say they want a second date I'm really kind of flattered though I know it doesn't matter just think of it as interstellar rape. the aliens will help me I know that they can lift me lift me out of earth's velocity the aliens have shown me in their space craft as they hold me their space-age Ozark moonshine recipe. in the kitchen I've gone wild with spices hot and mild yes, I'm the planet's new age Julia child. I'm cookin' up a present a ten-pound frisky pheasant they'll stuff it like they stuffed me - with a smile the aliens are recruiting over hill and dale they're lootin' for kins and cows and even chickens, too. they took my cousin Billy now he's more than silly I wish they'd take my auntie Mary lou. now the aliens don't like me 'cause I guess I tried to bite 'em it's just my way of being kind of close they threw me in a pasture now i'm aging faster faster than a free-range country roast. well the aliens are coming they're coming while i'm strummin' they fill me up with such a sense of pride when the aliens do take me I hope that they will let me bring my little sister for my bride.
