"Is it getting hot in here... or is it just the radiation?" Woke up pinned down by a neon beam Sweating through my nightgown, ready to scream Three tall shadows standing over my bed With glowing eyes and wires in their head I reached for my lamp, but my limbs felt like lead "This is it," I whispered, "I’m better off dead." The leader leaned in, his skin smooth as chrome Far away from his little green home He peeled back his suit with a metallic hiss I wasn't expecting a moment like this I looked down at his... setup, his celestial gear And suddenly, baby, I lost all my fear. "Calm... your... biological... heat.. Our... compatibility... is... nearly complete... Scanning... the friction... of the... human... design... To see if... your hardware... can... interface... with mine..." I looked him in the eye, I said: "Listen here, Blue, I’ve got some 'data' I’d like to share with you. Forget the samples, forget the glass jars Let’s see some real action from the stars." I grabbed his silver collar, pulled him into the light "You’ve got the right tools for a long-term flight." The room starts to spin in a kaleidoscope haze Lost in the depth of that neon-blue gaze A hum like a motor, a heavy vibration The strangest sensation in all of creation I told him: "Forget the moon and the Milky Way The secrets you’re showing are here to stay." Searching... for... answers... that... humans... seek... Merging... the... signals... in a... rhythmic... blur... The... system... is... active... for... him... and... for... her..." Everything for science! Yeah, do it again! Into the vacuum, tell all your men! Fill up the hard drive, take every bit This intergalactic travel is a total hit! "The stars looking different at first sight..." And E.T. is not calling home tonight... "Confirmed."
