Music and lyrics by Jack Austin

He woke up with a start
He didn't know where he had been
Or that his name was Tim
The ceiling wasn't there
Or maybe he was on the lawn
It was well past dawn
Aliens on the loose
Aliens got no use

He stumbled to his car
The radio was static-y
As he turned the key
But fifteen miles away
In the sleepy town of Stalingrad
Where the folks were mad
Aliens on the loose
Aliens got no use

It was the same thing every day
The novelty had all worn off
As they scrubbed them off
But at a dollar ten a pound
It was cheaper than the local stuff
But it tasted rough

Blowin' up, comin' down
Don't know where you'll be found
Blowin' up, comin' down
I said the wheels of the world keep spinning round and round

It was twenty years today
That Brooklyn was transformed into
A stinking pile of goo
But from the millions on the Mall
I saw her in a flash of light
Telling me goodnight
Aliens on the loose
Aliens got no use
Aliens on the loose

Rare Goat Atlanta, Georgia

Formed in Fall 2004, played sets of eclectic cover choices, with Steve (guitar, voc), Johnny (bass), and Jack (drums, voc). Moxy Barracuda, longtime friend and musical associate (and solo artist in his own right), joined the group for a few numbers for a 2009 gig, and within about a year joined the band. Faced with the opportunity to start fresh, the band has focused on originals since then. ... more
