Underneath

I was driving at night
On a country road when I saw a light
Spoken: “Holy shit what is that?”
And when it got a little closer well, I almost shat
It was a UFO
And I was thinking to myself 
Spoken: “Uh Fucking Oh”
When a tractor beam came down
And picked my little Mediterranean ass off the ground
I got kinda high Spoken: “not like that”
When I was looking down I was looking down at the sky
They pulled me into the ship
They said “Theresa now we got you and it’s time to dip”
I said “okay I guess”
Spoken: “There’s not really anything I can do about that, like, I’m just some girl who goes to mason and writes silly songs, like, it’s not like I really have the power to say no to you guys, like, you literally have anti-gravity, ray guns, and the ability to warp the time-space continuum, so… Space and chill for a while?”

Whooaah oh ohh
I made friends with friendly aaa-llii-eenns
I could stay up here for a while 
These little green men sure know how to make me smile
Next stop: Area 51 gonna fly on by and blow it up
Abduct some cows along the way
Do a little probin’ and call it a day
Yeaahh whoooaah I 
I made friends with extraterrestials
I never knew they had so much in common with millennials 
We both like using technology to communicate, drinking IPAs and something we both hate is xenophobia
Social commentary eee eee whooo ooo ahh

So I had to ask,
Why did you choose me to come aboard your space craft?
I’m just a regular girl
You could have taken any of the leaders of the world!
They said “We thought you were cute. And we knew there wouldn’t be much of a dispute, 
‘cause you seem pretty chill, normally we have to probe humans against their will.”
I said thanks so much guys, another inquiry has just now crossed my mind:
Did you help build the pyramids? I saw this show on TV once this guy was ranting about how you guys came to earth and helped the Ancient Egyptians lift those fucking heavy ass blocks off the ground to make huge structures in the sand that lined up with some stars. Was that y’all?
“Now why on earth would we do that? Our people only come here to party or attack. And also come to check on.. our little accident
Spoken: “Little accident?...” 
Wait an intergalactic sec! What could you possibly have meant by that?”
Well, we had a bit to do with human evolution..
Didn’t you know that?
Spoken: “Wait.. Whaa”
Wait are you my dad?!? Like theoretically
In a roundabout way, yes. My ancestor is your missing link you see.
And then he told me that long ago in a galaxy far far away his great (x12) grandfather was flying drunkenly through space and crashed and came upon this place and there was water and some things to eat and one weird apple tree with a talking snake, now wait, he probably was just high but anymotherfucking way he got so god damn stoned he fucked a chimpanzee and flew away 
Like a deadbeat dad 
Woaah oh 
I said good god damn
That totally explains the evolution of a man
I’m honestly not surprised. I always figured we came from the starship Enterprise..
*starts yawning*
Spoken: “But guys, seriously, this has been fun and all, but, it’s getting kinda late, I should probably get home, like, I have class tomorrow and we’re all the way out here near Uranus… Like, this little history lesson is cool and all but can you like, beam me back down soon?” 
Spoken: “Thanks” 
Spoken: “See you guys”
So they dropped me off
The way I landed on the ground was niiice and sofft
A close encounter of friends
I’m gonna miss those little assholes hope to seeee them againnn mmmm whoaaah
Whooo ooo iiii
I made friends with friendly aaa-lii-enns
I coulda stayed there for a while, those little green men sure knew how to make me c-- I mean smile

Little Green Men (Live)

i really wanna be
loved by someone who loves like me
im sick of wasting my time
on dudes who treat me like im worth 
9 cents less than a dime!
is it too much to ask
to be loved by someone who loves like me
like me

how sweet it would be to be loved the way i love
to never have to wonder whether or not im enough
affectionately tenderly shamelessly loved in every way
love languages spoken so often and fluently every day
every day

i really wanna be loved by someone who loves like me
im sick of feeling insecure and incomplete
fuck, is it too much to ask
to ask to feel like i shouldnt have to compete?
is it too much to ask
to be loved by someone who loves like me?

how sweet it would be to be loved the way i love
to never have to wonder whether or not im the only one
reciprocated in every possible way
appreciated for the little things i do every day
every day

i really wanna be loved by someone who loves like me
even if that means
that that "someone" is me!
even if that means 
that that someone is me!!!

how sweet it WILL be to be loved the way i love 
to never have to wonder whether or not im enough
affectionately tenderly shamelessly loved in every way
love languages spoken often and fluently every day
every day

<3
