Intro:  Welcome to Earth, 3rd rock from the sun 
 
Chorus: E5 
        She walks into Smokey's one hip at a time 

        like a broken field runner slippin' through the line 
        A5 
        he likes the way she looks so he calls the little wife says  
        E5 
        "Don't wait up for me I'll be workin' late tonight" 
        B5 
        wife hangs up the phone, bursts into tears 
        E5 
        calls her sister up and cries "Get over here" 
 
        Sister tells her boyfriend be back in awhile 

        boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile 

        he leaves the motor running he'll only be a minute 

        his car drives away with teenagers in it 

        the driver tells his buddies, got one life to live 

        they scream into the night "Let's get it over with" 
 
Chorus:
        A5 
        Cause and effect, chain of events 
        E5 
        all of the chaos makes perfect sense 
        A5 
        when you're spinning round, things come undone 
        E5                    A5             E5 
        Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun 
 
Verse2: 

        the kid guns the gas, the car starts to swerve 

        heads for a semi truck, jumps the curb 

        truck hits a Big Boy in the Shoney's parking lot 

        and flies through the air takes out the bank clock 

        clock strikes a light pole, transformer sparks 

        lines go down, town goes dark 
 
        waitress calls the cops, says she saw it all 

        swears a giant alien has landed at the mall 

        cops ring up the mayor says there's panic in the streets 

        "We hate to wake you up but we can't find the chief" 

        Mayor says "Use your head if he ain't in his car 

        he's hiding from his wife, down at Smokey's Bar" 

        {CHORUS x 2}
