Safe and Left Behind

Intro

So I heard the news today

Aliens came down and they took the pretty ones

Yeah

Verse 1

Big green saucer parked on Main Street

Laser beam so polite it opens doors

Snatching up the models and the poets

The ones with perfect teeth and open pores

They grabbed the guy who juggles chainsaws

Took the woman who can sing on key

Checked my list and said excuse me pal

You're not really what we're looking for you see

Chorus

So I'll miss you when you're riding on their ship

My talented beautiful friends

You'll be probed and photographed and all

But I'll be here till the very end

(Miss you)

(Miss you so much)

Verse 2

Susan from accounting can paint portraits

Marcus down the block he writes great jokes

Me I showed up wearing stained pajamas

And the aliens just started clearing throats

They scanned me with a little silver gadget

It beeped and then it made a sad noise sound

The captain shrugged and said we're good here buddy

And floated off without me from the ground

Chorus

So I'll miss you when you're riding on their ship

My talented beautiful friends

You'll be probed and photographed and all

But I'll be here till the very end

(Miss you)

(Miss you so much)

Bridge

They said the abductees get VIP treatment

Freeze-dried snacks and zero gravity beds

Meanwhile I'll be eating gas station hotdogs

And watching low-budget shows with static in my head

Which is basically my Tuesday anyway

So really nothing changes much for me

Just my whole friend group leaving on a spaceship

While I stay here with my touch and go reality

Chorus

So I'll miss you when you're riding on their ship

My talented beautiful friends

You'll be probed and photographed and all

But I'll be here till the very end

(Miss you)

(Miss you so much)

Outro

Yeah miss you guys

Somebody save me a seat on the mothership

Even if it's just for karaoke night

Alright alright

Peace
