From the recording I'm in the Band
“Late to Work” is a light-hearted escape hatch of a song — a story of aliens, Bigfoot, parallel universes, and the simple human need to laugh. It’s about letting the pressure off, opening the windows, and remembering that joy still belongs here.
Lyrics
I was driving on a lonely road heading for home
When way up in the sky I heard a faraway drone
Then I was abducted by Ancient Aliens
Little grey men with oversized craniums
That’s why I was late to work today
That’s why I was late to work
That’s why I was late to work today
That’s why I was late to work
Then they strapped me to a table controlled with thought
I’d say what they did next but I would rather not
Yeah, I was abducted by Ancient Aliens
Little grey men with supersized craniums
I was walking out in nature enjoying the breeze
When I spotted something moving behind the trees
It’s Yeti, Sasquatch, Bigfoot or worse
A large hairy dude from a parallel universe
That’s why I was late to work today
That’s why I was late to work
That’s why I was late to work today
That’s why I was late to work
