作词 : Greenebaum, Martin, Whipple
She walks into 
Smokey's one hip at a time 
Like a broken field runner slipping 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 tells 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 
The 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 guns the gas car starts to swerve heads for the semi truck jumps the curb 
Truck hits the big boy in 
Schoney's parking lot 
Who flies through the air takes out the bank clock 
Clock strikes a light pole transformer sparks lines go down the 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 say 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 
Smokey'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 
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 
Welcome to earth third rock from the sun 
Welcome to earth third rock from the sun
