I don't know what made me go out that night
E
At that hour I&rsquo d normally been in bed
A
But I found myself looking up at the sky
E A
And a very bright light straight overhead
D E A D A
It flashed green, then red... Santa Claus colors
D
I stood there frozen in that light
E
Then I started hearing this kind of a whirl
A E
The lights got louder and the noise got brighter
A
And I felt a sudden chill--brrr
D E
It was cold... I shouldn&rsquo t have gone out with a coat
A D E A
My Mom was right again
D
Then this old big old spaceship floated down
E
And hovered three feet above the earth
A D
Never been so scared in all my life
E A
Could&rsquo ve given spontaneous birth
D E A E A
If I was a woman... and pregnant
D
Then these two little guys about 4 feet tall
E
Jumped off that space-age Greyhound bus
A D
They grabbed me by the arms and said
E A
"Start walking Dan, you&rsquo re coming with us."
D
Abduction
E
They didn&rsquo t actually speak, but I understood &lsquo em
A D A E
Telepathy
A
The strapped down to this metal crate
E
Took out this 35-foot-long hose
A
This said, "Don't worry, this won&rsquo t hurt."
E A
Then they stuck that sucker up my nose
D
All the way up
E A D E A
I knew my nose was long, but... this was a surprise
D
They examined me from head to toe
E
Stuck prods in every orifice
A D
This cold gray box came and gave me a kiss
E
Then extracted a couple of quarts of piss
D
I felt dehydrated
E
Then they waved this wand all around my head, said
E
"Now we&rsquo re reading your brain, you see
A E
You got an awful lot of songs in there
A
Though it seems they're all in the key of G"
D
"So, what about Marilyn? That&rsquo s in D."
E
They said, "D flat, actually"
D
I said, "Yeah, 'cause I tune down a half a step. What about Hannibal?"
E
They said, "What about Hannibal?"
D E
I said, "Well, technically it's in G but it's really a dropped D tuning capo&rsquo d up."
D
They said, "How come you don&rsquo t play the harmonica more?"
E D
I said, "How come I&lsquo m in a spaceship talking to aliens about my act?"
E
They said, "We&rsquo d rather talk physics, but you're illiterate there."
A D E A
Couldn&rsquo t argue
A
They dropped me some place in Brazil
E
Took a month to get back to the U.S.A
A
When I told my friends what I&rsquo d been through
E A
No one believed what I had to say
D
That sucked
E
It's to be expected though
A D E A
Most people think "Hannibal"&rsquo s in straight tuning
D
Well, my life&rsquo s back to normal now
E
I do the things I always do
A E A
But once a week I meet with twelve other folks who've been abducted too
D E
I tell my story, they tell theirs
D
I don&rsquo t believe them, though
