It started at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere Sitting beside me was a man with no hair From the look on his face and the size of his toes He comes from a place that nobody knows Maybe I’m hallucinating, hyperventilating Letting this big-toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky Maybe I’m hallucinating, hyperventilating If you asked me now then I couldn’t tell you why I’ve been sitting here too long by a man from Milwaukee He’s been talking too long on his yellow walkie talkie He’s been talking to Mars but I think he’s wacky He says they’ll come get him, come get him someday He says that where he’s from is called Albertane There they use more than 10% of the brain But you couldn’t tell it from the way they behave They run around in underwear and they never shave Or maybe I’m hallucinating, hyperventilating Letting this big-toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky Maybe I’m hallucinating, hyperventilating If you asked me now then I couldn’t tell you why (Repeat chorus) This is Mother Bird calling Baby Bird Baby Bird come in, come in Baby Bird For the love of Pete come in! This is Baby Bird...sorry I was watching Court TV Do you copy? Do you copy? Of course we copy...24 hours a day...in colour You wouldn’t believe me if I told you the rest The man sitting by me who was just barely dressed Flew off to Milwakee or perhaps Albertane And left me at the bus stop just barely sane I’ve been sitting here too long thinkin’ about Milwaukee I’ve been talking too long on my yellow walkie talkie I’m talking to Mars you may think that I’m wacky I know they’ll come get me, come get me someday I know they’ll come get me and take me away I know they’ll come get me, come get me someday If not tomorrow then maybe today
