I don't know what made me go out that night
At that hour I'd have normally been in bed
But I found myself looking up at the sky
At a very bright light straight overhead
It flashed green, then red, Santa Claus colors
I stood there frozen in that light
Then I started hearing this kind of whir
The lights got louder and the noise got brighter
And I felt a sudden chill, brr, it was cold
I shouldn't have gone out without a coat
My mom was right again
Then this big old spaceship floated down
And hovered three feet above the earth
Never been so scared in all my life
Could've given spontaneous birth
If I was a woman and pregnant
Then these two little guys about four feet tall
Jumped off that space age Greyhound bus
They grabbed me by the arms and said
Start walking, Dan you're coming with us
Abduction, they didn't actually speak
But I understood 'em telepathy
They strapped me down to this metal crate
Took out the thirty five foot long hose
They said, Don't worry, this won't hurt
Then they shoved that sucker up my nose, all the way up
I knew my nose way long, but this was a surprise
They examined me from head to toe
Stuck prods in every orifice
This cold gray box came and gave me a kiss
Then extracted a couple of quarts of piss
I felt dehydrated
Then they waved this wand around my head
Said, Now we're reading your thoughts, you see
You got an awful lot of songs in there
Though it seems they're all in the key of G
I said, What about Marilyn? That's in D
They said, D flat, actually
I said, Yeah, because I tune it down a half step
What about Hannibal?
They said, What about Hannibal?
I said Well, technically, it's in G
But it's really a dropped D tuning capo'd up
They said, How come you don't play the harmonica more?
I said, How come I'm in a space ship
Talking to aliens about my act?
They said, We'd rather talk physics
But you're illiterate there, couldn't argue
They dropped me somewhere in Brazil
Took a month to get back to the USA
When I told my friends what I'd been through
No one believe what I had to say
That sucked, it's to be expected, though
Most people think Hannibal's in straight tuning
Well, my life's back to normal now
I do the things I always do
'Cept once a week I meet with twelve
Other folks who've been abducted too
I tell my story, they tell theirs
I don't believe them though
