"Get Down" lyrics

Get down, get down
They broke the code
Here's what they found
Get down, get down
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

"Get down, get down"
Nobody moved or made a sound
Get down, get down
They looked around
They understood that
Everything that they had known
Would need to be forgotten
And that they would have to
Start from the beginning again
And the only thing that mattered now
Is that everybody
Get down, get down

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

The only thing that matters now:
Get down, get down
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:
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
