Moonbeams Dancing
I was at a party that very unforgettable day
My hosts were really asking me to stay
But I told them that I should go on my way
Go home, get to bed and sleep it all away
So I bid them good bye and got in my car
My home wasn’t really all that far
Then I heard something that sounded so peculiar
Whispering voices that sounded so bizarre
I started shaking feeling a bit afraid
Wishing inside for the voices to fade
I tried to ignore it and fervently prayed
But inside the car the horrible voices stayed
I looked to the right to watch out for my exit
I had to get out cause I was already at the edge of my seat
I might have an attack by the rate of my heartbeat
Took a right so I could find an inhabited street
But what I saw instead was so amazing
I saw a couple of moonbeams dancing
Then I heard a loud siren screeching
One of the moonbeams now was steadily nearing
Then I heard the moonbeam in a loud voice speak
What I heard shocked me, made my knees go weak
I started feeling in the stomach very sick
I covered my eyes from the glare and tried to take a peek
Saw a tall shadow standing there asking
Sir how much have you been drinking?
Didn’t you see the sign before entering?
Maybe not cause you’re drunk by the way you are acting
And please turn off your car radio sir
It’s not giving out anything but a sound that’s a blur
Next time you should stay where you are so this won’t occur
Or better yet hire yourself a real good chauffeur
I was so embarrassed on what I had found
I just entered the CIA compound
I wished there was a way that I could just turn around
All this was really making my heart and head pound
So I stepped out of the car and started apologizing
Couldn’t really tell him about the moonbeams dancing
For a chance to sober up and drive home I was begging
And promised to never again go driving when I have been drinking
