the mountain goats - the day the aliens came (aka hawaiian feeling) lyrics

[intro (spoken)]
hey, mr. hughes and mr. vanderslice, uh, this is a new song
i’m really excited ab–, about, and uh and so since i wrote it on my old cort guitar instead of the new one i, i want to play on that just for purposes of ’cause i’ve been writing it and so forth so that’s why it sounds a little beat up and flat and everything, ’cause these strings are old and everything, so sorry about that. uh, it’s i–it’s in a. i think i’m tuned to an a. it should be called hawaiian feeling, but it probably can’t be called that. um, okay, right. alright

[verse 1]
i will wake up at six a.m. again
and i will find my way to the front door
like a soldier crawling through the smoking carnage
smoldering bodies at my feet
i’d love to stick around, but i’ve got someone to meet
and i will put my best foot forward
and i’ll thank god i made it out of there
on the day when my new friends come

[verse 2]
i will present myself in my nice white tuxedo jacket
and i will look out at the day through my dark sungl-sses
and take in the scene
the house behind me and the people in it
will all go up like steam in just a minute
there’s gonna be a redefining of some borders
and i will receive my orders
on the day when my new friends come

[bridge]
the rooftops and the sidewalks
will all melt like plastic
and oh friends, old friends, dear friends
i’m gonna look fantastic

[verse 3]
there won’t be any reason left to cry
’cause there won’t be any people left to cry for
my memory’s gonna vaporize itself
and my italian shoes, well, they will be to die for
i believe i can fly
might you look up at me and wave goodbye
on the day when my new friends come?
