Me: "o/~ It's raining men..o/~
Chris: "Um mom? Where did you learn that song?"
Me: "It's a real song, I swear. I can find it on the internet so you can listen to it when we get home if you want."
Chris: "No, that's okay."
We shop at the book fair, stop at Glenwood Corners, and on to the post office.
Me: "I'm leaving the car running, so don't take off in it. And don't get abducted."
Chris: "Alright."
I get back in the car.
Chris: "I'm still here!"
Me: "Great! So you didn't get abducted?"
Chris: "Nope! And I still have all my body parts!"
He goes back to reading. I turn on the radio. It's quiet for awhile, and then all of a sudden he starts singing with perfect timing, completely in tune with the song, and with the heartfelt intensity matched only by the actual Van Halen..
Chris: "o/~ Love comes walkin in..o/~"
Me: "Where did you learn that song?"
Chris: "Mom. It's about aliens."
So I had to look up the words, but it indeed includes the words "alien", and "Milky Way".
"Love Walks In"
Contact is all it takes
To change your life to lose your place in time
Contact! Asleep or awake
Coming around you may wake up to find
Questions deep within your eyes,
Things you've never realized
[Chorus:]
So when you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange, love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Wait for the opening
Then simply pulls a string
Another world, some other time
You lay your sanity on the line
Familiar faces familiar sights
Reach back remember with all your might
Ohh there she stands in a silken gown
Silver lights shining down
[Chorus]
Love comes walkin' in
[Solo]
Sleep and dream is all I crave
I travel far across the Milky Way
To my master I become a slave
Til we meet again some other day
Where silence speaks as loud as war
And the earth returns to what it was before
[Chorus]
Love comes walkin' in
Contact is all it takes
To change your life to lose your place in time
Contact! Asleep or awake
Coming around you may wake up to find
Questions deep within your eyes,
Things you've never realized
[Chorus:]
So when you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange, love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Wait for the opening
Then simply pulls a string
Another world, some other time
You lay your sanity on the line
Familiar faces familiar sights
Reach back remember with all your might
Ohh there she stands in a silken gown
Silver lights shining down
[Chorus]
Love comes walkin' in
[Solo]
Sleep and dream is all I crave
I travel far across the Milky Way
To my master I become a slave
Til we meet again some other day
Where silence speaks as loud as war
And the earth returns to what it was before
[Chorus]
Love comes walkin' in
I had to sign up for a new Pinterest account. So if anyone wants to follow me.. Um.. I have no idea how to hook that up, so yeah. Good luck with that! It claims to be "finding" my friends, but I'm pretty sure it's lying because nothing is loading to prove otherwise.
Some of you may have noticed that I changed the look of this blog. I was sick of pink, and fire rocks!
FIRE!
