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
