"Third Rock From The Sun" - Joe Diffie
She walks into Smoky's one hip at a time,
like a broken-field runner slippin' through the line.
He likes the way she looks, so he calls the little wife,
says, "Don't wait up for me, I'll be working late tonight."
Wife hangs up the phone, bursts into tears...
Calls her sister up and cries, "Get over here."
Sister tell her boyfriend, "Be back in a while."
Boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile...
He leaves the motor running, he'll only be a minute,
His car drives away with teenagers in it.
Driver tells his buddies, "Got one life to live."
They scream into the night, "Let's get it over with!"
Cause and effect, chain of events...
All of the chaos makes perfect sense.
When you're spinning round, things come undone...
Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun.
The kid hits gas, car starts to swerve...
Heads for a semi-truck, jumps the curb.
Truck hits the BigBoy in the Shoney's parking lot...
Flies through the air, takes out the bank clock.
Clock hits a light pole, transformers spark...
Lines go down, town goes dark.
Waitress calls the cops, says she saw it all,
Swears a giant alien has landed at the mall.
Cops ring up the Mayor, says, "There's panic in the streets.
We hate to wake you up, but we can't find the chief."
Mayor says, "Use your head. If he ain't in his car,
He's hiding from his wife down at Smoky's Bar."
Cause and effect, chain of events...
All of the chaos makes perfect sense.
When you're spinning round, things come undone...
Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun.
