Thatâs Why

That's why you turn when youâre walking out the other way,
Itâs something that you learn, though you donât need it every day.
Walk down the street just like you planned
To be right there when the aliens land.
You can grin and watch the little grey men
Shaving in the window with their ball point pens.
Scratching lines from space on their face,
Veiny blue maps for the human race,
Thatâs why you turn.
Thatâs why you turn.
And hereâs why you sing though your heart is broken,
Put a tiny wing on each word thatâs spoken.
Fling them up into the sky,
Maybe theyâll wait for you until the day you die.
Honour, trust, love and joy,
Theyâre flying around like little boys,
Cherry bombs every Spring, chasing cats and everything,
Thatâs why you sing!
And hereâs why you dance in a cross eyed trance,
Shake and wiggle like thereâs bees in your pants.
10,000 workers, 200 drones, Hawaiian queen is buzzing on the throne.
Saints alive I love that royal jelly, but when you pass the hive you better crawl on your belly.
If them and their buddies see you pass youâll get a million red dots on your pretty little...
Bottom, thatâs where they got him.
Itâs what their momma taught em, and now you gotta swat em.
They can make you cry, but buzz buzz then theyâre gonna die.
Uh uh uh, uh.
Thatâs why you dance dance dance dance dance.
Fried potato, terminator, sweet tomato, accelerator.
Zeeba neighbor, now sheâs in labour, sooner or later youâre gonna have to debate her.
A moment later, Tom will date her, a twist of fate, the neighbour ate her,
On a plate, brought by a waiter, in a coat made out of a goat.
Well, I tell myself, Iâm no elf, but whyâs my home on this dusty shelf?
No one hears, no one sees, Iâm through with trying to please just me only,
Iâm so lonely, soâs my song, what went wrong?
Thereâs so many things Iâm trying to learn, and that is why I turn.
That;s why you turn when youâre walking out the other way,
Itâs something that you learn, though you donât need it every day.
Walk down the street just like you planned
To be right there when the aliens land.
Give them a helping hand, or is it sooner than you planned?
Find a place to stand, isnât it grand?
Everyday a new demand,
And theyâre not yet banned.
Be right there when the aliens land.
