Mr. Spacemen

flashes of light in the sky
a thundering boom in the valley
must be something in my eye
no way I saw what I'm thinking

can't catch my breath
running through the bramble
feels like I'm getting closer to death
I see hundreds of lights blinking

over the ridge crawl on my belly
peeking for any movement
can't stand up my legs feeling like jelly
a door opens on the shiny ship

a creature of strange faces
dancing like some fool
another one exits exchanging places
spinning forward doing a flip

a third one appears clapping his hands
they join together and bow towards the west
music begins sounds of old rock bands
leaning forward I suddenly slip

I roll down the hill and land on my back
laying motionless covering  my eyes
hoping they don't put me on the rack
I hear yelling from far away

I feel the hand grabbing my arm
shaking me I hear my mothers voice
wake up Gomer you're in no harm
just a bad dream you gonna sleep all day?

wow it was a dream seems no way
I know it was real I know that it was
I looked out my window shades of gray
I heard someone let out a giggle

from behind me under my bed
there they were all three
fingers over lips shhh they said
they smiled and made their noses wiggle
