LYRICS

WEATHER BALLOON BLUES

I saw a saucer in the sky last night
It blinked real slow then zipped outta sight
It fried my fence and abducted my shoes
But the feds just said its the weather balloon blues

Weather balloon floatin on high
Glowing like a tic tac doing loops in the sky
Forget what you saw its classified news
So hush up and hum those weather balloon blues

The cows came back but theyre not quite right
And Grandmas speakin Martian every Tuesday night
They paved the crop circles and handed out stew
Then smiled real wide like they always do

Weather balloon nothin to fear
That was just swamp gas near your ear
No little green men no surgical clues
Just satellites lost and local tabloid crews

If you dream of stars or hear odd clicks
Dont report a thing it just wont stick
Keep your eyes down low your curtains drawn
Or you might wake up on Zeta Reticulon

Weather balloon thats the refrain
Theyll tell it again if it eases your brain
The truths out there wrapped in patriotic hues
Just smile and sing those weather balloon blues

Just smile and sing those weather balloon blues
Weather balloon blues oh dont you fuss
