Lyrics
U.f.o.
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Shaking like a leaf on the desert heath
His daddy's got a bag that's hard to beat
I bought me a ticket, got a front row seat
I'm checking out the show
With a glassy eye
Looking at the sun dancing through the sky
Did he come
By U.F.O.
A lot of tricks were pulled in the book I read
Only man I know who got up from the dead
Lot of people living by the words that he said
I'm checking out the show
With a glassy eye
Looking at the sun dancing through the sky
Did he come
By U.F.O.
Think he'll ever come again a different way
Maybe he's come and gone while I was away
Too much goodness is a sin today
I'm checking out the show
With a glassy eye
Looking at the sun dancing through the sky
Did he come
By U.F.O.
There's something happening that isn't too clear
Just a little different than in previous years
I think that happiness is getting very near
I'm checking out the show
With a glassy eye
Looking at the sun dancing through the sky
Did he come
By U.F.O.
Did he come
By U.F.O.
Did he come
By U.F.O.
