River W. Durham - Recording 189 (It Came From Outer Space) Lyrics

Joey was your average Joe
He read the paper every morning
Made his bed and fed his pets
Until he heard a shocking story
Somewhere there's an evil lurking
Piercing eyes and always smirking
What form could this evil take on?
It was just a simple song that went:
Quickly did he pause the tv
Boy it made him crack
He stood up and walked out quickly
To prevent a heart attack
While outside he heard a jingle
From an ice cream truck
Music bouncing off the shingles
And would you believe his luck? It went:
Every building every street sign
Played that haunted song on replay
"Plug your ears and you will be fine"
People passing heard him say
No matter what he thought
It wouldn't go away
That stupid song would make him rot
That song was here to stay
Joey thought he could escape the wrath of those 8 horrid notes
He may have been a little crazy, or was it just in his mind?
Joey thought that just because he willed it all to go away
It'd go away
But not today
Little did the poor man know that this entire time
The song's been playing in his eardrums
That tune is tuned into his mind
And you at home, the listener, doesn't know that you're a part of this experiment
This never-ending torment of the brain
This song is stuck inside, like an ancient buried mine
It's in your mind, and it's there for life
Joey couldn't find an exit
He could not escape
The tune went in his mind and wrecked it
All due to that stupid tape
That played today on Channel 7
Who would want to taint the Heaven
Of a good man's tranquil living'
We will never know the answer
