UFO (A. McDonald/C.Mitchell) I just don't wanna be lonely Cause the lights were shining ever so bright In my hand there?s a pulse of my beating heart I'm biting my tongue there's a plastic man on the telephone Can you see the bright lights shining I don't know Can you see the bright light shining, shining.... I saw a UFO but nobody believes me I was 16 miles from home with nobody in sight I saw a UFO but nobody believes me And what?s it gonna take to get me back home tonight. Can you see the bright light shining I don't know Is it a reflection of anyone, the big glow And tell me this is all good, and you say, I don't know I'm very, very far from home. I saw a UFO but nobody believes me I was 16 miles from home with nobody in sight I saw a UFO but nobody believes me And what?s it gonna take to get me back home tonight.
