We lit a jar spectacular
And gazed at the light for hours
We climbed a stairway through the air
'Till we reached the highest tower
And we never saw our friends again
No, we never saw our friends again
Strange ships sailing in the moonlight
Round trips from dawn to midnight
Look at those strange ships
Flickering like satellites
Coming to sail us away
Oh, sail us away
We saw a bus in phosphorus
Doin' 200 miles an hour
The rainbow wheels were pa**in' us
Leaving an array of flowers
And we'll never see the same again
We'll never see the same again
And we'll never be the same again
Strange ships sailing in the moonlight
Look at those strange ships
Flickering like satellites
Coming to sail us away
Oh, sail us away
