A new, but all-time favorite of a fan of many years. Can't vouch for the key, but I
it in A. Why the bastard won't play this thing live is beyond me. Seems to frustrate his
player as well!
the day the aliens came
AI wilDl wEakeA up aDt sEix a.m. again.
Aand I wDillE find my way to the front door
liAke a DsolEdier crawling through the smoking carnage.
DsmolderingA bodies at my feet,
I'd lDove to sticEk around, but I've got someone to meet.
anAd I wilDl pEut my best foot forward.
anAd I'll DthaEnk god I made it out of there
onA the daDy wEhen my new friends come.
I will present myself in my nice white tuxedo jacket.
and I will look out at the day through my dark sunglasses,
and take in the scene.
the house behind me and the people in it
will all go up like steam in just a minute.
there's gonna be a redefining of some borders,
and I will receive my orders
on the day when my new friends come.
F#the roofAtops and the sidewalks
F#will allA melt like plastic.
F#and oh fAriends, old friends, dear friends,
DI'm gonEna look fantastic.
there won't be any reason left to cry
'cause there won't be any people left to cry for.
my memory's gonna vaporize itself.
and my italian shoes, well, they will be to die for.
I believe I can fly.
might you look up at me and wave goodbye
on the day when my new friends come'
