Lyrics: they got a ranch they call number fifty-one they got a ranch they call nubler fifty-one can't see it at all 'less you're flying by just sitting there square baking in the sun beneath the sky
they're gonna put it down right on the strip they're gonna put it down on the Vegas strip they're gonna put it down and step outside into the lights right outta that ship saying Hi!
i was driving doing nothing on the shores of Great Salt Lake when they put it on the air i put it in the hammer lane i soon forgot myself and i forgot about the brake i forgot about all laws and i forgot about the rain they were talking on the 9 and all across the amy band across the road thy were turning around and headed south with me it got so crowded on the road i started driving in the sand my head was feeling scared but my heart was feeling free the desert turned to mud it seems that everybody heard everbody was remembering to forget they had the chills then i heard the voices on a broadcast from up on the bird they were getting interviewed by some Goodman whose name was Bill i'm almost there to Vegas where they're putting on a show they've come so far i've lived this long at least i must just go and say hello
Quotes: That's based on this guy Billy Goodman, who had a radio talk show out of Las Vegas, The Billy Goodman Happening, dedicated to UFO stuff people calling in to tell of how their husband got murdered by an alien. The song The Happening tells of how the aliens land in Vegas: it's always been my wish that if they do land, it'll be Billy and his audience that get the credit in the greeting! - Q September 1990
