Intro: Welcome to Earth, 3rd rock from the sun
Verse: E She walks into Smokey's one hip at a time E like a broken field runner slippin' through the line A he likes the way she looks so he calls the little wife says E "Don't wait up for me I'll be workin' late tonight" B wife hangs up the phone, bursts into tears E calls her sister up and cries "Get over here"
E Sister tells her boyfriend be back in awhile E boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile A he leaves the motor running he'll only be a minute E his car drives away with teenagers in it B the driver tells his buddies, got one life to live E they scream into the night "Let's get it over with"
Chorus: A Cause and effect, chain of events E all of the chaos makes perfect sense A when you're spinning round, things come undone EAE Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun
Verse: E the kid guns the gas, the car starts to swerve E heads for a semi truck, jumps the curb A truck hits a Big Boy in the Shoney's parking lot E and flies through the air takes out the bank clock B clock strikes a light pole, transformer sparks E lines go down, town goes dark
E waitress calls the cops, says she saw it all E swears a giant alien has landed at the mall A cops ring up the mayor says there's panic in the streets E "We hate to wake you up but we can't find the chief" B Mayor says "Use your head if he ain't in his car E he's hiding from his wife, down at Smokey's Bar"
Chorus: A Cause and effect, chain of events E all of the chaos makes perfect sense A when you're spinning round, things come undone EAE Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun
A Cause and effect, chain of events E all of the chaos makes perfect sense A when you're spinning round, things come undone EAE Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun EAE Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun EAE Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun
