Sci-fi Song
First performed 9/7/96

I woke up
Fell out of bed
Dusted off
And pulled back the shades

Something happened
Something funny
I can't tell
But I feel awfully lonely

Called my boss
To fake sick
No-one answered
He must have stayed home, too

Then I noticed
Then it hit me
There's no noise
From anywhere in this whole city

I had a funny dream that I was stolen from out of my bed
I woke up relieved, but I quickly perceived that they'd taken everyone
Else instead
Instead

Library
Full backpack
No checker
I guess they'll never be overdue

At a restaurant
Slow kitchen
And poor service
At least I didn't have to tip them

Found a car
With keys in it
And drove fast
On the wrong side of the road

Where am I going?
It doesn't matter
There's no traffic
So I'll push it a little bit faster

I had a funny dream that I was stolen from out of my bed
I woke up relieved, but I quickly perceived that they'd taken everyone
Else instead
Instead
