[Verse 1] Quarter past midnight, nothing going on Kitchen light buzzing and the television gone I turned an old receiver just to fill the empty room Then something started singing from the dark side of the moon The signal bent sideways The numbers disappeared A voice came through the static Like it knew that I was here [Pre-Chorus] It said Don’t change the station Don’t wake the street We’ve been circling your planet And we like the beat [Chorus] There’s a bright thing coming through the night Rolling through the stars with the radio lights Nobody panic, nobody run Something out there wants to join the fun Turn it up Let it shake the room There’s a strange transmission coming in soon If the whole damn sky starts singing along Maybe we’ve been on the right planet all along [Verse 2] I called up my neighbor and said, Listen to this He said, I already hear it and something’s amiss Every radio in town was playing the same refrain And a silver little flicker was dancing in the rain We ran into the backyard The dogs were looking up Every porch light started blinking And the power lines lit up [Pre-Chorus] Then the voice said Don’t call the army Don’t lock the door We didn’t cross forever Just to start a war [Chorus] There’s a bright thing coming through the night Rolling through the stars with the radio lights Nobody panic, nobody run Something out there wants to join the fun Turn it up Let it shake the room There’s a strange transmission coming in soon If the whole damn sky starts singing along Maybe we’ve been on the right planet all along [Bridge] Then every speaker Every car Every busted radio Near and far Played one note Then two Then three And whatever was coming Was singing with me [Final Chorus] There’s a bright thing hanging in the sky Close enough to see it with the naked eye Nobody panic, nobody hide There’s a whole damn universe waiting outside Turn it up Let the windows shake Maybe this is one mistake we ought to make And if morning comes and they’re still hanging on Tell them Earth says Welcome Leave the radio on [Outro] Leave the radio on Leave the radio on Something’s singing out beyond Leave the radio on Leave the radio on We were never here alone
