day of the triffids

in the mid-day heat i gave a sigh

cruisin' through the garden district i was out of my mind

the star of india's in my hotel room

in a briefcase combination: 3

2

1 which only i know

and i've just seen my mentor

dr. no

'california sun' is on the radio

let's go

i just wanna reach the radio star

i just wanna reach the radio star

it's a satelite off venus and it ain't too far

i just wanna reach the radio star

i was shooting up in my hotel room

when the phone started ringing - oh no

it was dr. no

he gave the password

he said 'hey man

haven't you heard?' and i said 'no'

'the world's been invaded by alien life forms

meet me at the airport

we've got to get out - let's go'

i just wanna reach the radio star

i just wanna reach the radio star

it's a satelite off venus and it ain't too far

i just wanna reach the radio star

i just wanna reach the radio star

i just wanna reach the radio star

it's a satelite off venus and it ain't too far

i just wanna reach the radio star

i ran to the window and looked out

there were dead people lying all over the streets

man

within two minutes i had all my stuff together

i jumped in the car and was speeding down the highway

past all the deserted cars

in five minutes i was at the airport

but there at the gates i saw what i suppose was one of these alien life forms

i pulled my bazooka out of it's bay in the back of the car and blew it up to hell

as arranged dr. no was waiting for me in the terminal

we got in his private jet plane and took off

two hours later landing in zaire

where he met up with fu manchu

hannibal lecter

the hooded claw and all the rest of the gang

we boarded the rocket and soon we were shooting off for the stars

and as we approached the space station i looked down and observerd the earth

the us air force being annihilated

and swarms of nuclear weapons soaring through the stratosphere destroying the earth

and i swear to god i laughed

congratulations you guys

i just wanna reach the radio star

i just wanna reach the radio star

it's a satelite off venus and it ain't too far

i just wanna reach the radio star

i just wanna reach the radio star

i just wanna reach the radio star

it's a satelite off venus and it ain't too far

i just wanna reach the radio star
