[Intro]

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun


[Verse 1]

She walks into Smokey's one hip at a time

Like a broken field runner slippin' through the lines

He likes the way she looks, so he calls a little wife

Says, "Don't wait up for me, I'll be workin late tonight"

Wife hangs up the phone bursts into tears

Calls her sister up and cries "Get over here!"


[Verse 2]

Sister tells her boyfriend be back in awhile

Boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile

He leaves the motor runnin', 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, lets get it over with


[Chorus]

Cause and effect, chain of events

All of the chaos makes perfect sense

When you're spinnin' 'round, things come undone

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun


[Verse 3]

The kid guns the gas, car starts to swerve

Heads for a semi-truck, jumps the curb

Truck hits a bigboy in the Shoney's parking lot

Flies through the air, takes out the bank clock

Clock strikes a light pole, transformer sparks

Lines go down, town goes dark


[Verse 4]

Waitress calls the cops says she saw it all

Swears a giant alien has landed at the mall

Cops ring up the mayor, says, "There's panic in the street

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"


[Chorus]

Cause and effect, chain of events

All of the chaos makes perfect sense

When you're spinnin' 'round, things come undone

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun


[Chorus]

Cause and effect, chain of events

All of the chaos makes perfect sense

When you're spinnin' 'round, things come undone

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun


[Outro]

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun

Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun
