Monday morning, nine o'clock
Joey doesn't seem to talk
He only walks alone
Against the residental streets
Strangers only pa** him by
They never look him in the eye
He's really not the kind of boy
They'd like to meet
His voice isn't all that strong
His hair must be way too long
He's hidden from the
Mainstream of society
He's looking some people, though
No one cares where he goes
Well, Joey is the shadow
That everyone ignores
They're out there, but you'll never know
Their feelings never show
And no one cares where they go
Because Joey is a social U.F.O.
Days will come and days will go
And Joey's feelings will often show
But that's OK, he's found a way
To deal with it all
No more fighting, no more school
No more teachers' golden rule
It's better to be gone
Than do as others do to you
It was a long walk home that day
The weather wasn't nice, they say
Kids were playing in the streets
And laughing's all you hear
Listen now and once again
A shot is fired deep within
He's dead and silent, never wake
To all you hear, it's a mistake
They're out there, but you'll never know
Their feelings never show
And no one cares where they go
Because Joey is a social U.F.O.
Mm, mm
Joey
Mm
Hey, Joey
Yeah, you, man
Joes was indeed alive
Yet no one saw in his eyes
They're filled with love, once a day
And ? out to no avail
Take some time and be a man
Take your brother by the hand
Look in his face
There is beauty, there is friendship
Joey wasn't all alone
As many without a home
Don't waste your time
And let a friendship pa** you by
One last thing I ask of you
Please, follow the golden rule
Do unto others
As you would have them do to you
They're out there, but you'll never know
Their feelings never show
And no one cares where they go
Because Joey is a social U.F.O.
