The Spaceman Trilogy - The Spaceman Trilogy Origin Story Lyrics

Not long ago, in a galaxy very, very close by...
Three guys sat in a clearing on a mountain watching a meteor shower
All of a sudden
One of those shooting stars made a U-turn and came right towards them
As it got closer they saw it wasn't a meteor at all
But a flying saucer

The flying saucer hovered over them, spinning silver and opalescent
A ramp lowered and several people came out, little green men?
Women? I'm not sure what to call them...
They said, "we've been traveling for a long time, a long way...
Can we just sit with you for a while and watch the sky?"
The three humans said Sure - I mean, they couldn't be rude, right?

They asked the travelers where they came from
One of the little green people pointed straight up and said
"it's not just where or when, we travel through possibility and option"
It turned, focused each of his three eyes on the humans
"Would you like to come with us?"

The humans looked at each other
One said he had a lease and bills to pay
One said he had a girlfriend and a job, one said he had cats and responsibilities
But they all shrugged

"Come with us" the Alien said, "And you wouldn't just be humans
The three of you will be Spacemen
