about

"Those people." You know who they are. The kind of person who has confirmation bias up the yingyang, the kind of person who sees a penny on the ground as living proof of every belief he (or she) has, and, in this case, the person who spent a little too much time watching The X-Files.

Who are we to deny that extraterrestrial life could exist? Surely the number of stars would imply as much, but that doesn't mean that every strange light you see is a UFO about to abduct you - to prove that the sore spot in your ass isn't a result of you walking into the wrong bar last night, of course.

lyrics

The little saucers around my head
Are glowing in shades of the blue
Their blank expressions cannot be read
Their viewpoints can never be new
Elation has no parallel
When you're rendered blind by the true
Your superstition's a kind of hell
When you don't share a point of view

I'm on the phone whenever
I see lights up in the sky
I've shown them everything, but
No-one believes me
No-one believes me
No-one believes

They cut it open, they seal it closed
When the truth seems to come very near
The visions can't always be imposed
When the sights become open and clear
It's awful easy to end up hosed
If you expose their hidden veneer
The photographs have been staged and posed
The joke marches on every year

I'm on the phone whenever
I see lights up in the sky
I've shown them everything, but
No-one believes me
No-one believes me
No-one believes

[Solo - Chris]

I'm on the phone whenever
I see lights up in the sky
I've shown them everything, but
No-one believes me
No-one believes me
No-one believes

Indebted as I am
To little grey men from the sky
It seems I've lost my place
The truth is so hard to deny

The little saucers around my head
Are quickly becoming quite red
