To you, I'm the narrator, a secondary character A lighthearted father figure, lumberjack and commentator But I've got a story that is wild as it's true I would have told you sooner but I didn't know what you'd do His friends with the vacant stares who'd follow him to anywhere You'd think he'd be embarrassed by their fawning and their praise And I've got a story that is wild as it's true I would have told you sooner but I didn't know what you'd do How do I tell you he's from outer space? When the plain fact is that he's from outer space Not to candy coat it, he's from outer space And he was left here by his parents who went back to outer space Flash back, thirty years ago That's me, in the woods alone No moon, not a single light Just me and the night Then out of nowhere, thunder crashes Sparks rain down, the sky explodes How do I tell you he's from outer space? When the plain fact is that he's from outer space Not to candy coat it, he's from outer space And he was left here by his parents who went back to outer space Smoke clears, and where I stood There's a spaceship made out of wood Inside, swaddled up in moss Baby Xanthus is starting to fuss I hoist up this kid, cradle him in my arms Under the maple on Mr. John's farm How could you tell them he's from outer space? When you promised not to mention he's from outer space Can't you see you're making me a basket case? And I'm in no condition for your tales of outer space! |
