it started at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere
sitting beside me was a man with no hair
from the look on his face to the size of his toes
he'd come from a place that nobody knows
oooh maybe i'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
letting this big-toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky
maybe i'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
if you ask me now then i couldn't tell you why
i've been sitting here too long
by a man from milwaukee
he's talking too long
on his yellow walkie talkie
he's talking to mars, but i think he's wacky
he says they'll come get him
come get him someday
he says where he's from is called albertane
there they use more than ten percent of their brain
but you couldn't tell it from the way they behave
they run around in underwear, and they never shave
oooh maybe i'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
letting this big-toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky
maybe i'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
if you ask me now then i couldn't tell you why
i've been sitting here too long
by a man from milwaukee
he's talking too long
on his yellow walkie-talkie
he's talking to mars, but i think he's wacky
he says they'll come get him
come get him someday, yeah
this is mother bird, calling baby bird...baby bird come in....come in baby bird...for the love of pete come in!!!
yeah, this is baby bird...sorry, i was watching court tv. do you copy? do you copy?!
of course we copy...twenty-four hours a day...in color!
you wouldn't believe me if i told you the rest
the man sitting by me who was just barely dressed
flew off to milwaukee, or perhaps albertane
and left me at the bus stop, just barely insane
ooooh maybe i'm hallucinating, hyperventilating,
if you ask me now then i couldn't tell you why
i've been sitting here too long
thinking 'bout milwaukee
i been talkin' too long
on my yellow walkie-talkie
i'm talkin' to mars, you might think that i'm wacky
i know they'll come get me, come get me someday
i know they'll come get me, and take me away
i know they'll come get me, come get me someday
if not tomorrow, then maybe today.
hehe, could this song be any more zac? he sings lead, although tay always sings it with him, so it's more of a duet, but oh well. hanson were on their way to la to make middle of nowhere, and their car broke down in albuquerque, and they were sitting outside the hotel, and ike had his guitar and he was singing a song about ants, and then zac came up with the idea for this song. it was originally called "man from albuquerque," but that didn't sound right, so they changed it to "man from milwaukee."
