Day of the Triffids Lyrics

In the mid-day heat I gave a sigh
Cruisin' through the garden district, I was out of my mind
The Star of India's in my hotel room
In a briefcase combination: 3, 2, 1 (which only I know)
And I've just seen my mentor, Dr. No
"California Sun" is on the radio, let's go

I just wanna reach the radio star
It's a satellite off Venus and it ain't too far

I was shooting up in my hotel room
When the phone started ringing - oh no
It was Dr. No, he gave the password
He said, 'Hey, man, haven't you heard? and I said 'No'
'The world's been invaded by alien life forms
Meet me at the airport, we've got to get out - let's go

I ran to the window and looked out, there were dead people lying all over
The streets.
Within two minutes I had all my stuff together.
I jumped in my car and was speeding down the highway past all the deserted
Cars.
In five minutes I was at the airport but there at the gates I saw what I
Suppose was one of these 'alien life forms'.
I pulled my bazooka out of its bag in the back of the car and blew it to
Hell.
As arrange Dr. No was waiting for me in the terminal.
We got in his private jet plane and took off, two hours later landing in
Zaire, where we met up with Fu Manchu, Hannibal Lecter, the Hooded Claw and
All the rest of the gang.
We boarded the rocket and soon we were shooting off for the stars and as we
Approached the space station I looked down and observed the earth, the US
Air force being annihilated and swarms of nuclear weapons soaring through
The stratosphere destroying the earth - and I swear to God I laughed.
