UFOs


In UFOs we put our trust 
those aliens who art in heaven 
Those flying saucers full of dust 
our daily bread without the leaven 

Our eyes turn upward to the skies 
in fervent hope of friendly rescue 
Our ears are full of welcome lies 
we whisper up a silent thank you 

In UFOs we place our hope, 
to save our planet from destruction 
Our troubles are beyond our scope 
so we welcome alien intervention 

Civilisations more advanced 
must have the answers to our woes 
Their technology will be enhanced 
so they could save us, we suppose

We see the strange lights in the sky 
and wish our saviours would arrive 
across the gulf of space they'll fly 
by interstellar hyper-drive

And as our world dies from our labours 
The truth is never all it seems 
We welcome you, our cosmic neighbours! 
Oh. What’s that? A laser beam?
