ROOTERS - With all the hoopla surrounding the new Van Hagar reunion, we are Rooters news service have uncovered some startling lyrics that were canned for Hagar's 1987 song 'Where Eagles Fly! off his solo album that same year. The record label rejected the lyrics, feeling they were 'inappropriate and quite disturbing'. We won't reveal our source, but let's just say it's a friend of a cousin's brother's sister-in-law who was Hagar's drummer's sister's brother-in-law.
WHERE ALIENS FLY
Sunday morning 3 a.m.
I saw fire in the sky,
They’ve come to take me away,
Beamed me up so high
Now I'm inside all they do is stare
Feel their probes, Run fingers through all my hair
I watch an alien place his hand on me
Projects his mind, now I can see
Hey-
Take me away
Come on and bean me away
Take me up so high
Where aliens fly
I often dream I’m beamed through the sky
I've always wished I could fly
The simple life of an alien in flight
Oh Lord, it’s outta sight
Take me away
Come on, beam me away
Lift me up so high
Where aliens fly
Oh yeah-
I'm alive, I breathe the air
Watch the earth from outer space
I catch a glimpse of another one beamed
I turn, I look, and there’s Ed’s face
Take me away
Come on, beam me away
I wanna fly away
Beam me up so high
Where aliens fly
Oh yeah-
aliens fly, oh, beam me away
aliens fly, oh, beam me away
Come on, just take me away where aliens fly
Come on, just take me so high where aliens fly
