This wasn't a literal story of an actual abduction...

but what the song does is shed light on stuff the gov't insists on covering up or flat out denying altogether... area 51 and alien/ufo.

cd does have a couple political songs... particularly The Pot and this song...

but Tool does it cleverly enough lyrically and musically to cloak it in LSD and POT... it keeps all of the meatheads buying cds and thrashing at their show for the wrong reasons... and keeps anyone who can see beyond the tree appreciative for the right reasons..

the dont ALIENATE anyone
