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

Oh, 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 asked 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 some day

He says that where he's from is called Albertane
There they use more than ten percent of their brain
But you couldn't tell it from they way they behave
They run around in underwear and they never shave

Oh, 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 asked 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 some day

This is Mother Bird calling Baby Bird
Baby Bird come in, come in Baby Bird
For the love of Pete come in
This is Baby Bird, sorry I was watching Court TV
Do you copy? Do you copy?
Of course we copy, 24 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

And, oh, maybe I'm hallucinating
Hyperventilating
If you asked me now then I couldn't tell you why

I've been sitting here too long
Thinking 'bout Milwaukee
I've been talking too long
On my yellow walkie talkie
I'm talking to Mars
You might think that I'm wacky
I know they'll come get me
Come get me some day
I know they'll come get me
And take me away
I know they'll come get me
Come get me some day
If not tomorrow
Then maybe today

​H​an​son

With 20+ years under their belts as a band, brothers Isaac, Taylor, and Zac Hanson have definitely made their mark! Five years building a fanbase as an independent band led to a meteoric rise in 1997 as they released their first commercial single, “MMMBop,” from their debut album Middle of Nowhere. The catchy, bubblegum pop appeal of the song helped make the band a household name.

A long line of hits and studio albums, multiple Grammy nominations and over 16 million album sales worldwide followed.

The band now runs an independent label while maintaining a “coveted connection with their global fanbase.”
