Dm                        D#
And if a ship meets your car
Dm                        D#
You know you can't go real far
Gm                             G#
Well they could treat you real nice
Dm                  D#
Or put a tracking device
A#   A      Dm
Way down inside

Dm
I'm checking out inventions
                         D#
At the UFO convention tonight
  Dm
Planes above the Hilton make it sunny
                   D#
Brought my money tonight
             Dm
Blue blond ladies of abduction
                                   D#
Strumming guitars of instruction delight
          Dm
A lot of wannabe truckers
                                D#
Making eyes with starfuckers tonight

I've got my hands on some sights
Electric glasses with lights
They got me feeling deluxe
For just a couple of bucks
Way down inside

I'm getting patterns from a trekker
And it sounds like soul records to me
They're waving hi from some gazebo
Waving on to Arecibo to me
Getting patterns from a trekker
Sounds like soul records to me
Patterns from a trekker
Sounds Desmond Dekker to me

D       F#m
Sleep machine
D       F#m
In your silo
D      F#m
Transmarine
D             F#m
Things you've never seen

D         Am    B     F D#
Parry the wind high, low - 12
