I was abducted by an alien while I was walking home one day
We took a ride around the sun and then we cruised the milky way
He looked like Elvis Presley must have looked before he died
But he was quite a pleasant fellow so I thanked him for the ride
He told me of a time when battles they would not be fought
Instead of waging wars governments would just be bought
And sold to the highest bidder I said you're such a kidder
Go figure
Calling captain lubritron
Calling snizz
I was talking to an old man
Hoping that I'd understand
The only thing I learned that day
Was that he didn't give damn
I'm holding on for heaven's sake looking for some kinda break
I'll pass on all the bullshit I've had all I can take
I'm trying to do the right thing I'm hanging by a kite string
Walking on a tight rope seeing what the future brings
Calling captain lubritron
Calling snizzHow many of you people out there
Been hurt in some kind of love affair?
And how many times did you swear
That you’d never love again?
How many lonely, sleepless nights?
How many lies, how many fights?
And why would you want to
Put yourself through all of that again?
Love is pain I hear you say
Love is a cruel and bitter way of
Paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain
How could it be that what you need the most

You could be walking down the street
And who should you chance to meet?
But that same old smile you’ve been thinking of all day?
Why don't we turn the clock to zero honey?
I’ll sell the stock we’ll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if she’ll take me back
I’m thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero sister
You’ll never know how much I missed her
Starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero boss
The rivers wide we’ll swim across
We're starting up a brand new day
It could happen to you
Just like it happened to me
There is simply no immunity
There's no guarantee
I say love is such a force if you find yourself in it
You need some time for reflection
You say, baby wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Turn the clock to zero honey
I’ll sell the stock weÃ
