I was driving doing nothing on the shores of Great Salt Lake
When they put it on the air I put it in the hammer lane
I soon forgot myself and I forgot about the brake
I forgot about all laws and I forgot about the rain
They were talking on the 9 and all across the amy band
Across the road they were turning around and headed south with me
It got so crowded on the road I started driving in the sand
My head was feeling scared but my heart was feeling free
The desert turned to mud it seems that everybody heard
Everybody was remembering to forget they had the chills
Then I heard the voices on a broadcast from up on the bird
They were getting interviewed by some Goodman whose name was Bill
I'm almost there to Vegas where they're puttin' on a show
They've come so far I've lived this long at least I must just go and say hello
When they put it on the air I put it in the hammer lane
I soon forgot myself and I forgot about the brake
I forgot about all laws and I forgot about the rain
They were talking on the 9 and all across the amy band
Across the road they were turning around and headed south with me
It got so crowded on the road I started driving in the sand
My head was feeling scared but my heart was feeling free
The desert turned to mud it seems that everybody heard
Everybody was remembering to forget they had the chills
Then I heard the voices on a broadcast from up on the bird

I'm almost there to Vegas where they're puttin' on a show
They've come so far I've lived this long at least I must just go and say hello

Supposedly, this song is about aliens. This guy's been driving around Utah when he hears that aliens have come to Earth, and he's so stunned that he veers off the road. Anyway, in the end he goes to Vegas to see them.
A remix of "The Happening". I love the intro, especially when the bass and guitar start.
amaaazing song (the happening is also great)
wow this is sucha great song...... i don't have the thing but this is the best part of the happening i love the part about the rain and driving in the sand it sounds like hes in a daze

what a great song. I think its about getting caught up in the thrill of things. going along with the flow, having all the dangerous fun. you realize people will join you along the way and its like the paranoia that you're unsure if you've gone too far.
when it talks about it getting crowded and driving in the sand..he heard the rain was coming..
i dont know..to me when he uses "the chills" and "the good man name bill" i think its describing the feelings of slight paranoia about being lost or some what scared in a lifestyle/situation/event that is unusual or you feel unsure of.
favorite line.."They've come so far I've lived this long at least I must just go and say hello"
well this is a song about a guy going to las vegas and just forgetting all his troubles and all the details of his life, hense when he says "i forgot about the ring" meaning he's even forgetting about his wife, so this means going to vegas is him being re-born. as for ", to sum it all up its a guy losing himself in vegas
Am I the only one to hear the similarity to that song "Somewhere Only We Know" in the intro?
