pterodactyl

Lately my lover's staying out all night
I believe she has another man
Lying here awake. Something is not right
I've had about all I can stand

In the heat of the evening, lying cold in my bed
Trying hard to close my eyes
I hear a sound strange enough to wake the dead
A sound that turns my blood to ice

It is the high wailing scream 
of some gigantic thing
It comes from just above my place
It sounds like the song the jaws 
of hell would sing
Sweat dripping down my face

They say 
there's 
bigfoot 
sasquatches 
chasing jackalopes 
Devils & angels 
racing UFOs
Yetis and nessies riding unicorns
True blue women & leprechauns
I don't know, I don't know
I got no proof. All I know	
There's a pterodactyl on my roof

My lover said she's been communing with the dead
I said "This must be happening in my dreams"
She said "Don't worry, baby, I didn't buy half of what he said
Things ain't sometimes what they seem"

You think you got it figured out. What you see is what you get
Til something strange comes about. You find a few loose ends ain't tied up yet
She says I'm wrong, I know I'm right. It happens almost every night
She says "Baby, you better stick to the facts. Find me some feathers. Show me some tracks
When your rafters start to bend and crack you find out what the facts can lack
