THEY LAUNCHED A PROBE

Hey Houston, we’ve got a problem,
I have seen the ships and there’s hundreds of them.

An X marks the spot where we parked the car,
Where the engine stopped and we found out who we really are.

Somewhere in this universe there has to be a place for us,
I’m looking into space for us with telescopes and high hopes.
And if it gets too dangerous, we’ll have to change our names,
They’re looking in our special places, hiding in our secret bases.

They launched a probe, to tell us something we all know:
We’re not alone. And we’re never ever coming home.

Somewhere off the map I have seen your greys,
From our blanket by the lay-by plotting our escape.
Now the two of us, like scientists, experiment,
Before we disappear in history and common sense.

So make like a star and come out tonight.
She said, “They died a million years ago, and we’ve just now seen the light,
And the aliens abducting us know the Earth’s too small for both of us,
But they need to see that we’re just leaving ‘cause we’ve got nothing to believe in”.

They launched a probe, to tell us something we all know:
We’re not alone. And we’re never ever coming home.
