Used to be Young - Age Song

Extraterrestrial Invasion [Verse] Well I was cruisin' down the road Got nothin' better to do When a bright light appeared and my heart started to skew I was lifted right up Like a ragdoll in the sky Oh I knew right then and there It was alien time to fly [Verse] In the spaceship they took me Oh the fear in my eyes They all had big heads and those creepy little eyes Before I could say a word They filled me with dread Oh! I just got probed where the sun doesn't shine I said [Chorus] Oh They came from outer space They invaded my mind Abducting me from home Leaving all my woes behind Oh They probed me all night Ain't no way to unwind Extraterrestrial invasion It's a cruel kind of grind
