The Flaming Lips - U.F.O. Story lyrics

All right, so the other day, I
Wasi was talking with Michael Stipe
And we were talking about the
Very first memory you had
The very first thing
That comes into your head, and um, dude
I think I sort of freaked him
Out a little bit because, um, I told him when
I was about three or four years old
Me and my little brother used to go
Out into our backyard, and we'd
Go up on top of this swingset out there
Climb up on
Top it was Mark and um, and we would
We'd climb
Up on top of this swingset, and we could
We could sit up there, up all night, and we'd
Watch these drive-in movies that
Were about, you know, like a half mile
Away over on this hill
And we'd just sit up there all
Night and we would, we'd just
We'd watch the movies
Okay, and we had a pretty good view of, like
The
Sky there, you could see the sky pretty good
As we were watching the movies

Okay, one night we're out there, sitting
There watching the movies like usual
And we're watching on the horizon
And there were six UFOs, no
Kidding, in a formation really! I mean
They're right there in formation
They're six UFOs right there, okay
So we're just little kids
Okay? And it sort of freaks us out
A little bit, so I get down, I get down off
The swingset and I go in to get mom
Because that's what you do when you're a
Little kid, you just go get mom
Because weird shit's happening so, by the
Time I come back with mom to
Check it out, they're gone okay
And so no one believed me

Okay, so I'm about ten or
Eleven and me and Mark
Are playing football in this field
By our house, okay, and we've had about
Enough, we've been playing for a while
And we're getting ready to
Go in, and we're walking up
To the house now, okay, and
It'sthis is real, it's the same sort of deal
You can see the sky pretty good
And the sun's sort of going down but it's
Still pretty light out you know
What I mean? Okay, and we're
Walking up there in view of
The horizon, and no bullshit
The same six UFOs are
Right there in formation
(Whoa, that's heavy, dude) Right there
Dude, I know man, right there
In formation, but we don't freak
Out this time, okay
Because we, you know, we saw them
So we just sit
There, and they're right there hovering
Right over our heads, man and we sit
There, and they're coming closer and closer
And we're just sitting there
There we go, we're waiting on
Them, they're coming toward us, and
They made this really weird sound
I mean I'll never forget, they
Made this sound, and it sounded
Like this, like this, like this
