Accidental Time Traveler










( Performed to the tune of "Walking In Memphis" )


Put on my tennis shoes
And I ... Slipped off the train
Ducked into a box that was large and blue
Just as it started to rain

Dear God in Heaven
Won't you keep watch over me
Three weeks and five days ago
I lost my grip on reality

Now I'm lost in a TARDIS
Traveling with this guy who can't be real
Caught up in this TARDIS
And never really knowing how to feel


I swear that I met Elvis
The night before he died
Tried to warn him of what would happen
He just laughed until he cried

No one ever knew we'd been there
We just appeared inside his room
It was such a crazy thing
To get to see the King
Just hours before his doom

Then we took off in the TARDIS
Traveling with this guy who can't be real
Caught up in this TARDIS
And never really knowing how to feel


I've seen monsters in Manhattan
 
I've gone swimming in mid air

But if you've ever seen a Dalek

You'll think you haven't got a prayer

          I prayed inside the TARDIS



I heard him play piano
On this evening out in Hollywood
While this dude he called the Master
Played the bass just like a God

It was such a crazy number
And I sang with all my might
I said "You two seem like such good friends"
They said "Only for tonight"

Then we were back in the TARDIS
Traveling with this guy who can't be real
Caught up in this TARDIS
And never really knowing how to feel

Lost in a TARDIS
Traveling with this guy who can't be real
Caught up in this TARDIS
And never really knowing how to feel


Put on my tennis shoes
And I ... Ran to catch the train
Glanced back at this box that was large and blue
In the middle of a pouring rain

That guy in the box that was large and blue
Will I ever see him again?
