lyrics

Me I had my knife and compass
Needle spinning round and round
Joey brought his father's radio
And we lit out to Devil's Mound

Those ain't airplanes boys, I've seen an airplane

Static on the radio, static on the TV, static on the telephone

Then the lights they started moving
Slow at first then really fast
Coming for us right toward us
Not a sound no trails of gas.

Static on the radio, static on the TV, static on the telephone

A beam of light it hit me, I was floating off the ground
I could hear voices, suddenly distant but all around
My body turned in the air slowly, I was paralyzed
And the honeysuckle below me looked like it was on fire
Thats when they say it happened, though I really don't remember at all
They say my body stiffened, they say I straightened out like a doll

"Joey, stop crying. Tell the officer the rest of the story"

Then it was over, and the thing was gone
He wasn't moving, lying on the ground

In his hand his knife and compass
Needle standing oh so still
In his hand his knife and compass
Needle standing oh so still
In his hand his knife and compass
Needle standing oh so still
