We Were Sensible People

Woken up in the dark of night
I thought i must be dead
Small naked men with large black eyes
Standing all 'round my bed

We were sensible people
We were intelligent people
We were honest people
But nobody believed us

We were normal people
Ordinary people
And everyone laughed when we told them
That we'd been abducted by alien creatures

They spoke without breathing or moving their lips
I thought i was going insane
No sound seemed to come from out of their mouths
The words just appeared in my brain

They took us out in the garden
And i know this must sound daft
But a beam of light came down on our heads
And pulled us up into their craft

We were sensible people
We were intelligent people
We were honest people
But nobody believed us

We were normal people
Ordinary people
But everyone laughed when we told them
That we'd been abducted by alien creatures

They said that they came from earth in the future
Destroyed by a nuclear war
The radiation had caused their mutation
And their women had babies no more

So we interbred and they took the eggs
So they could have children like us
Then they dropped us off on the wrong side of town
And we had to go home on the bus

We were sensible people
We were intelligent people
We were honest people
But nobody believed us

We were normal people
Ordinary people
But everyone laughed when we told them
That we'd been abducted by alien creatures

We were sensible people
We were intelligent people
We were honest people
But nobody believed us

We were normal people
Ordinary people
But everyone laughed when we told them
That we'd been abducted by alien creatures
Everyone laughed when we told them
That we'd been abducted by alien creatures
Everyone laughed when we told them
That we'd been abducted by alien creatures
