UFO Song

Woke in the dead of night taken by surprise
I saw a golden light fill the prairie skies
I couldn't move, I was paralyzed

Out under the prairie moon, out on the vast horizon
It hung like an air balloon above the herd of bison
And then I saw it, rising

All the nights of my youth staring at the stars
I searched for a higher truth a better life on mars
Couldn't help it if I tried
Couldn't run run run and hide
When I saw it, I was terrified

I may be a prize fool taken for a ride
But I swear by the golden rule and by my foolish pride
I'd tell no word of a lie, cross my heart and hope to die
I wasn't dreaming, I was terrified
