She walks into smokeyand's one hip at a time
like a broken field runner slippinand' through the line
he likes the way she looks so he calls the little wife says
andquot;donand't wait up for me iand'll be workinand' late tonightandquot;
wife hangs up the phone, bursts into tears
calls her sister up and cries andquot;get over hereandquot;
Sister tells her boyfriend be back in awhile
boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile
he leaves the motor running heand'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 andquot;letand's get it over withandquot;
and'cause and effect, chain of events
all of the chaos makes perfect sense
when youand're spinning round, things come undone
welcome to earth 3rd rock from the sun
The kid guns the gas, the car starts to swerve
heads for a semi truck, jumps the curb
truck hits a big boy in the shoneyand's parking lot
and flies through the air takes out the bank clock
clock strikes a light pole, transformer sparks
lines go down, town goes dark
Waitress calls the cops, says she saw it all
swears a giant alien has landed at the mall
cops ring up the mayor says thereand's panic in the streets
andquot;we hate to wake you up but we canand't find the chiefandquot;
mayor says andquot;use your head if he ainand't in his car
heand's hiding from his wife, down at smokeyand's barandquot;
and'cause and effect, chain of events
all of the chaos makes perfect sense
when youand're spinning round, things come undone
welcome to earth 3rd rock from the sun
and'cause and effect, chain of events
all of the chaos makes perfect sense
when youand're spinning round, things come undone
welcome to earth 3rd rock from the sun
