Driving through Poughkeepsie
Driving through Poughkeepsie
Driving through Poughkeepsie in the rain
I just got a funny feeling
It really set my head a’ reeling
There’s deviltry afoot inside my brain

Could it be an alien working
Could it be an alien working
Could it be an alien working in the gloom
Aiming a strange, sonic ray
At a target down this way
From a cavern on the dark side of the moon

There’s something pouring down on me
Something that I just can’t see
I hope the thing will set me free
And stay around ‘til morning

By John H Thomas Jr

Did someone ask me once before
If I was in the Punic War
I just heard a slamming door
Don’t wake me in the morning

How is Lazarus? Did you see him
Buy some pets and then don’t feed them
Where’s McGiver when you need him?
Death comes after morning

Driving through Poughkeepsie
Driving through Poughkeepsie
Driving through Poughkeepsie in the rain
