lyrics

She say Yes, I say No
"Goldwater swears it's a UFO"
I ask the beer drinking woman "How do you know?"
She says "Shush, be quiet, keep your voice down low

Look up in the sky at the flashing lights
Those aren't stars, they're alien satellites"

"Radio waves from way up high
Flying saucer pilots calling me tonight
This was the master plan all the while
Are you ready, Freddy? We're goin' to the other side!"

My name's not Freddy, she said
"I don't care
In God's eyes, a circle can be a square."
Well, I don't believe in conspiracies
"But this is truth, plain as can be"

"Our savior wears a big diamond ring
He's the father of the Father, professor of everything"

"25th of March, he's gonna rise from the sea
There's a place in Texas -- sounds like God's land to me
They-stoned-him-under-the shade of a big oak tree
Buy me a beer -- I'll tell you about it in Chinese"


Laoban, laoban, ni hao ma? (Chinese, lit. "Boss, boss, how are you?")
Wo yao yi ge danbing, buyao jia la (Chinese, lit. "I want an egg tortilla without hot sauce")
That's Chinese, it means: spaceship's coming for me
Like Jonah and the whale, he's gonna spit me from the sea

I say Yes, she say No
"Government denies it's a UFO"

Purple seafood perpetrating, to and fro
Positive, negative, high and low
The master says he needs a steady cash flow
When God calls you Freddy, you better get ready to go!

I say yes, you say no
Beer drinking woman hopped a UFO
