The Dead Milkmen - The Secret of Life lyrics

rate me

I saw a cigar shaped flying ship

It landed outside on my lawn

You poked your head out of a door

And said, "Hurry up get on."

I've never seen the sight before

The world became a shrinking ball

I asked where you were taking me

You said, "Shut up and you will see."

CHORUS

Waves of time they rock us back and forth

There's no telling if we'll stay on course

We raced across the galaxy

Away from all our ugliness

I felt beautiful and free

Out where the devil can't exist

I felt a burst of energy

Hot white light poured from your eyes

We sped into infinity

I felt beautiful and free

CHORUS

Now I'm no longer in my life

I've left all my friends behind

Now letters don't get past my door

I can't really read them anymore

You took me to another world

Where time ceases to hold sway

And computers contain the missing key

To life's most sacred mystery

The secret of life is no secret at all

For secrets hold death and

Lies only build walls
