[Verse 1]
It came
It came like a thief in the night
I happened to be looking
Out through the window
I swear it was brighter than hell
Man, I saw a light through the window
It was hovering above
The house next door
I froze
I froze like a stone
All alone
I swear my hair stood up
And I said a prayer to end all prayers
I reached for the phone
But the phone was dead
Next the glowing ball turned red
And a voice inside my head
[Chorus]
Said, "Boss, go on back to bed
From now on
You are gonna be able to see
From now on you are gonna be
All at once with peace and harmony
In rhyme and reason altogether alone"
[Verse 2]
It came
It came like a song
In the day, the way I play
When I get off on a feeling
Of wheeling and soaring through space
Like the word what flows
Like the lover as it explodes
Kicking off the start of time
[Instrumental]
I froze
I froze like a stone
All alone
I swear my hair stood up
And I said a prayer to end all prayers
I reached for the phone
But the phone was dead
Next the glowing ball turned red
And a voice inside my head
[Chorus]
Said, "Fred, go on back to bed
From now on
You are gonna be able to see
From now on you are gonna be
All at once with peace and harmony
In rhyme and reason altogether alone
Rhyme and reason altogether alone
Rhyme and reason altogether alone"
