Driving from LA to Vegas
with my top down ragtop low
Looked down at my gas gauge
and it said 30 miles to go
Then I came into a town
with a large thermometer
A mad Greek speaks to me
and tells me all that I need to know
He said...
It's 3:00 a.m. in death valley.
Whatcha doing out here?
It's 3:00 a.m. in death valley
Just so we're perfectly clear
Uh alright, I got you man
Filled my tank and went inside
the all night liquor store
Grabbed a pack of Kool menthol
and a shooter of whiskey to go
Outside I see a girl
her eyes look kind of spun
If you gave her $20
she would just take off and run
She said...
It's 3:00 a.m. in death valley
Whatcha doing out here?
It's 3:00 a.m. in death valley
Just so be perfectly clear
Back in the car again
heading for the rising sun.
I see a sign ahead of me reading Area 51
Then some men in a blacked out
Blazer point their guns at me
I should have made a left turn
at the sign for Albuquerque
They said...
It's 3:00 a.m. in death valley.
Whatcha doing out here?
It's 3:00 a.m. in death valley
Just so we're perfectly clear
3:00 a.m. in death valley
3:00 a.m. in death valley
3:00 a.m. in death valley
3:00 a.m. and death valley yeah
Exit the vehicle face down on the ground
With your hands behind your head
What are you doing out here?
I'm lost man I was coming home
From LA to Vegas I got on this dirt road
And I don't know where I am Man
Bag his head we're taking him back to base
Ahhh so groggy
What did they do to me
I think they drugged me
I gotta get outta here
All alone in a cold cell
Hope they don't leave me to rot
Dislocate my arm
And escape through the door slot
I'm free
Running down a long hall
that leads into a hangar
Suspended there in mid-air
Is a ship not built by humans
Government officials
Interacting with extraterrestrials
In a locked hangar
In the middle of the desert
And nobody knows but me
Are they our creators?
Or perhaps Invaders?
But one thing's for sure
The government is keeping this
From Everyone
