Get Down

Lyrics

[Chorus: John Linnell] Get down, get down They broke the code, here’s what they found Get down, get down [Verse 1: John Linnell] It seems this message had been Traveling through the cosmos For a hundred thousand years The alarms went off and the teletype came to life They read, it said [Chorus: John Linnell] “Get down, get down” Nobody moved or made a sound Get down, get down [Verse 2: John Linnell] They looked around, they understood that Everything that they had known Would need to be forgotten And that they would havе to Start from the beginning again And the only thing that mattеred now Was that everybody Get down, get down [Bridge: John Flansburgh] We interrupt this broadcast To bring you a special news bulletin Stop whatever it is that you’re doing This is an emergency Go down, stay down [Chorus: John Linnell] The only thing that matters now Get down, get down [Verse 3: John Linnell] Just as we were hearing the news The announcer’s voice was cut off The signal went dead And it cut to a different feed A metallic and alien voice began speaking [Chorus: John Linnell] Get down, get down I’m telling you for your own good Right now you should Get down, get down I’m telling you for your own good Right now you should The only thing that matters now Get down, get down
