GONNA GET YOU EVERY TIME
When you're out at night
When you're home
Sleep tight
When you're in your car
Drinkin' in a bar
Sneak up from behind and take you
Got the mind and will that will break you
No point looking for reason and rhyme
Little gray guy's gonna get you every time
Every time
Little gray guy's gonna get you every time
Every time
When you're on your back
It's all over jack
In the little dark room where they probe and groom
From the pulsing mist that blinds you
Come the eyes that control and bind you
Scan the room for the exit sign
Little gray guy's gonna get you every time
(MASS FIRESIGN CONFUSION PLAYS HERE)
Little gray guy's gonna get you every time
Every time
Little gray guy's gonna get you every time
Every time
Your brother knows
And the firemen know
And the air force knows
And the president knows
And they say they're there to protect you
That the weapons are there to defend you
The they trade you for a chip about the size of a dime
Little gray guy's gonna get you every time
Every time
Little gray guy gonna get you every time
Little gray guy
Every time
Time

ALIEN HOUSE
They're here all around and before you
They come in peace and quiet to destroy you
Never ask - NO time to hesitate
You got to get ya self out before it's too late
Late night and your dreams interrupted
Something whispers - you've been corrupted
Hide beneath the blanket like a petrified mouse
Don't look now but - you're in the ALIEN HOUSE
This is the ALIEN HOUSE
Dancin' all around
You're in the ALIEN HOUSE
Outta time - too much too consider
Got to move - got to think - got to figure out the plan of attack
Don't even try 'cause ya never coming back
Not here
Give into the fear
Can you feel your master standing near?
Screams and reach for ya spouse
No point looking now - she's in the ALIEN HOUSE
This is the ALIEN HOUSE
Dancin' all around
You're in the ALIEN HOUSE
NEE AIR DONE BONE ITZZ
NEE AIR DONE BONE ITZZ
Charlie sez: "You shouldn't ride the choo-choo"
Charlie sez: " You shouldn't ring the bell"
Charlie sez: "Forget the GOOD and PLENTY"
'Cause Charlie's just a little guy they like to call KRLLL
This is the ALIEN HOUSE
Dancin' all around
You're in the ALIEN HOUSE

CAPTIVE
ND : We are very scared. We are running out of gas.
JT : It's dark.
ND : And there is a search light up ahead running, going south on 191. And ah, it's very strange out here. It's like really kind of frightening because I can really see the stars well due to there's not many lights around anywhere. And we're all by ourselves and… You see a search light that is right up a head and… Very strange if it's from a space ship. I would suggest we keep going 'cause I'm gonna be scared.
JT : It's green and it's white.
ND : Very strange. It, it looks like it's on the road. This is very strange.
JT : Is that a car there?
ND : I have no idea. I mean I thought it was search light for a building or some airport. Well, we're closing in on this light.
JT : I'm not sure...
ND : It's very close now.
JT (in Priest voice) : Someone's playing a joke. That's an erector set. Phillip set that up.
ND : No, no. That red light is...
JT : Hey.
ND : … very steady over there.
JT : Yeah it is. And it's above our heads too.
ND : No it's not.
JT : Nah...
ND : This thing looks like it's the top of a building somewhere off the road.
JT : Could be a firehouse.
ND : Could be ah yeah…
JT : Police.
ND : Where'd that red light go? There it is. Very steady now.
JT : Are ya ready to get out?
ND : Land.. You know out on this fucking country road anything can land out here.
JT : Hope so.

NIGHT IN ROSWELL
Under cover for your eyes only
Top security clearance "A priority"
Project Blue Book
Project Joke Book
Ya can't ask Truman now it's time to
Hear the tale that will take you far and near
Wipe away the sweat there is no time to fear
Taken on board in the desert like you wanna be
down in New Mexico nineteen forty-
Seven - metal straight from heaven
Wind swept desert and a lightening bolt but not from
Zeus and the papers say balloon but
I saw the bodies on the ground that night in Roswell
(CHORUS)
Dirt dig the archeological myth
Produced a trinket with a hieroglyphical gift
could not be broken-bashed-burned are
Military men concerned I -
Wonder and a crash like thunder
Hit the ground and another Air Force
Blunder with Ramey at the helm
Takes command and Jesse never stood a chance
Told a story no one could believe
Ordered the papers of the public to deceive
Box it up tight in a place called Wright
Nothing ever happened in the sand that night in Roswell
(CHORUS)
The President and his Majestic team
Twelve apostles of the apocalypse
Gather up the data of an alien race
Making sure we never see the face of
One who escaped the jaws of death
Just long enough to become a
Guest of the American government
Never appeared in the late night supplement
Brazle, Knell, Falcon and Cooper
These are the names of a few who knew more
Never allowed the veil of security to
Shut their mouths about the truth that night in Roswell
Roswell New Mexico Y'all

SPACE FARMERS
Seein’ like a fish
Never miss like a dish get bent
Start action never sent
Go crazy time ends don’t lend no fiction for a sinner
Don’t fend no honey make amends
Talkin’ about a patch little circle awful circle
Tiny space from space nothin’ grows and it glows
Trees are humming never sunny funny and he’s coming
Straight down
Big eyes
Big brain oh my
Taken for a splash got a rash
No joke taking a tinkle in the bush with your fly shut
Good conversation with a short wide beast
Awful grey no light
Getta me ready for the big flight
Going for a quick cappucino over Reno
Gettin’ high by the breathing pool whipping out the tool
Goin’ steady oh no with a girly called Betty
And ya ready awful heady get punk shy
Messin’ with the best
Here’s the test
No pencil operation in your head gonna bed down
Lonely in the middle of the night
Lookin’ only at a picture junior flight welter wind bag
Doin’ the doody now
Pushing real loose spruce goose
Tushy juice never beggin’ around a moose
Clues strewn the awful truth
Callin’ lawn time grass doctor
Little grey guy passin’ out green thumb
Blue beam oh my

SPEAK WITHOUT A VOICE (and a motive too)
They're taking me in
I've got something inside of me that's tearing within
Does it want to be part of me?
Now the last thing i remember
(a leather face)
Yeah, the last thing i remember
I can't erase
Speak without a voice and a motive too
(don't don't, don't take the horses)
Speak without a voice and a motive too
(don't don't, don't take the horses)
I go to extremes
In the corner they're watching me
It's a nightmarish dream with the needle aligning me
Now the last time i was gravel and undefined
Yeah, the last time I was gravel
They read my mind!
Speak without a voice and a motive too
(don't don't, don't take the horses)
Speak without a voice and a motive too
(don't don't, don't take the horses)
Speak without a voice
Speak without a voice!
We're not alone
We're not alone in the plan
We're not alone
We're not alone
Future man understands
Now the next face in the window
could be a friend
And the next friend in the shadows
Could be the end
COULD BE THE END!
Speak without a voice and a motive too
(don't don't, don't take the horses)
Speak without a voice and a motive too
(don't don't, don't take the horses)
Speak without a voice
Speak without a voice!
They're taking me in

SLIP IT
So let me kick it to ya freestyle so you can understand it
No need for complicated words to get it
Straight out the back door of technology
A new history or anthology
The kind of power that will take you by surprise, ha
Remember these eyes?
Never the less you must confess your fear
'Cause the slip code man is here
There's no time to count the reason
We will get you through the day
Won't you slip it
Slip it to me
Let a robot take control
Free the android in your soul
Won't you slip it
Slip it to me
Better listen to this voice
Pretty soon you'll have no choice
Dark the light the tall men of industry
From some unknown military
Cast out upon the crowd of millions
One star in billions
Took control though your mind won't tell you
Every plan that you had is bullet proof
Flash upon an intergalactic tombstone
Strewn about members who can't phone home
There's no present like the future
(Can you dig it?)
The past is just a glimpse away
Won't you slip it
Slip it to me
Let a robot take control
Free the android in your soul
Won't you slip it
Slip it to me
Better listen to this voice
Pretty soon you'll have no choice
Won't you slip it
Slip it to me
Let a robot take control
Free the android in your soul
Won't you slip it
Slip it to me
Better listen to this voice
Pretty soon you'll have no choice
Here comes the priest of the new order
Better make a run for the border
He bears a gift like a holy towels man
Blocks the light - a satanic salesman
Cryptic cue the times through like the old
And in with the new
History says survival for the few
And Slipcode says so to
" A new life." "The chance to begin again."
And Slipcode says so to
And Slipcode says so to
In the changing of the season
They'll be fewer rainy days
Don't you slip it
Slip it to me
Don't you slip it
Slip it to me
Better listen this voice
Better listen this voice
Better listen this voice
Better listen this voice
Better listen this voice
Better listen this voice
Don't you slip it
Slip it to me
Let a robot take control
Free the android in your soul
Don't you slip it
Slip it to me
Let a robot take control
Free the android in your soul
You know you're never all alone! etc...
Won't you slip it
Slip it to me
Better listen to this voice
Pretty soon you'll have no choice
Won't you slip it
Slip it to me
Let a robot take control
Free the android in your soul
Won't you slip it
Slip it to me
Better listen to this voice
Pretty soon you'll have no choice
Won't you slip it
Slip it to me
Let a robot take control
Free the android in your soul
Won't you slip it
Slip it to me
Better listen to this voice
Pretty soon you'll have no choice
Better listen this voice
Better listen this voice

A Matter Of History

Pseudo Gerald Light :
My dear friends,
I've just returned from Muroc. The report is true it's devastatingly true! When we were allowed to enter the restricted section, I had the distinct feeling that the world had come to an end with fantastic realism. For I have never seen so many human beings in a state of complete and total collapse and confusion as they realized that their own world had indeed ended with such finality as to beggar description. The reality of the ‘other plane’ aero-forms is now and forever removed from the realms of speculation and made a rather painful part of the consciousness of every respectable, responsible scientific and political group.
During my two days' visit I saw five separate and distinct types of aircraft being studied and handled by our Air Force officials -- with the assistance and permission of the Etherians! I have no words to express my reactions. That is except to say, it has finally happened. It's now a matter of history.
President Eisenhower, as you may already know, was spirited over to Muroc one night during his visit to Palm Springs recently. And it is my conviction that he will ignore the terrific conflict between the various 'authorities' and go directly to the people with radio and television - if the impasse continues much longer. From what I could gather, an official statement to the country is being prepared for delivery about the middle of May,1954.
It's finally happened. It's just now a matter of history.
Little Grey Guys :
Itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout
Out came the rain and washed the spider out
Down came the sun and dried up all the rain
Itsy gutsy spider is living in my brain
Peudo Gerald Light :
Oh God. Now I will leave it to your own excellent powers of deductions to construct a fitting picture of the mental and emotional pandemonium that is now shattering the consciousness of hundreds of our scientific authorities. And all the pundits of the various specialized knowledges that make up our current physics. In some instances I could not stifle a wave of pity that arose in my own being as I watched the pathetic bewilderment of rather brilliant brains struggling to make some sort of rational explanation which would enable them to retain their familiar theories and concepts. And I thank my own destiny for having long ago pushed me into the metaphysical woods and can call me to find a way out. To watch strong minds cringe before totally irreconcilable aspects of science is not a pleasant thing. I'd forgotten how common place such things as the de-materialization of solid objects have become to my own mind. The coming and going of etheric or spirit body has been so familiar to me these many years I had just forgotten that such a manifestation could snap the mental balance of a man not so conditioned.
It has finally happened.
It's now a matter of history.
