I think you can't compose a song like this being sober... So the lyrics may not be on LSD, but the music IS, for sure! It talks about lots of things and about nothing at the same time. I mean, listen to the couplets: the first takes five or six lines to conclude "something will be done" Oh, yes, something will be done, somewhere by someone, at some point! It's totally vague, it's nothing.
Second verse: "now is the time to be aware". They take a very long time to say that. But to say what? Be aware? of aliens? maybe...
Third verse: something in my eye, something in the sky, wainting there for me. It's the more precise and they steal repeat twice "something" which is a very vague word. What the hell is something? Aliens? Spaceship? Lucy in the Sky?
Fourth verse: did you ever know? no never will they, I say. It's still very unprecise.
In comparison, the choruses are very precise with names and references "carter's father", "Mildenhall", "Rhull", "Hereword, the Wake", "Lucy in the sky"...
So, I think it's a brilliant song about the aliens coming down and the verses show our ignorance and suppositions about whenever they come, wherever they appear, whoever they are, whatever they do!
