I Was Wrong
Well I used to think this talk of spaceships
Was just so much hype
I really believed there was nothing out there
Except the Stars and the Stripes
I mean the scientists said they found out that
There was nothing there on Mars
So as far as I was concerned it was just
The name of a candy bar
I'm one of those kind of people
Who need proof before they believe
Close Encounters left me cold
And Star Trek seemed naive
When it came to UFO's
I was of the scientific school
Little green men with pointed heads
Were for little kids and fools
But I was wrong
I was wrong
I was real wrong
I was wrong
All along
I was so wrong
The people who believed that stuff
Were always kind of odd
I mean you might as well go all the way
And believe in Jesus and God
I knew I had the kind of mind
That wasn't easily satisfied
And besides I had enough problems on earth
To keep me occupied
And then one night I was standing
Looking at the stars
And I heard something that sounded like
A hundred space guitars
The music was so weird it could have
Been the theme from Jaws
Then I saw something flying over my head
I thought it was Santa Claus
But I was wrong
I was wrong
I was real wrong
I was wrong
All along
I was so wrong
Eu Estava Errado
Bem, eu costumava achar que essa história de naves espaciais
Era só uma grande balela
Eu realmente acreditava que não havia nada lá fora
Além das Estrelas e das Listras
Quero dizer, os cientistas disseram que descobriram que
Não havia nada em Marte
Então, no que me dizia respeito, era só
O nome de um chocolate
Eu sou um desses tipos de pessoas
Que precisa de provas antes de acreditar
Contatos Imediatos me deixaram frio
E Star Trek parecia ingênuo
Quando se tratava de OVNIs
Eu era da escola científica
Homens verdes com cabeças pontudas
Eram para crianças pequenas e tolos
Mas eu estava errado
Eu estava errado
Eu estava muito errado
Eu estava errado
O tempo todo
Eu estava tão errado
As pessoas que acreditavam nessas coisas
Sempre eram meio estranhas
Quero dizer, você poderia muito bem ir até o fim
E acreditar em Jesus e Deus
Eu sabia que tinha uma mente
Que não se satisfazia facilmente
E além disso, eu tinha problemas suficientes na Terra
Para me manter ocupado
E então, uma noite, eu estava parado
Olhando para as estrelas
E ouvi algo que soava como
Cem guitarras espaciais
A música era tão estranha que poderia ter
Sido a trilha de Tubarão
Então eu vi algo voando sobre minha cabeça
Achei que era o Papai Noel
Mas eu estava errado
Eu estava errado
Eu estava muito errado
Eu estava errado
O tempo todo
Eu estava tão errado
