Styx’s “Come Sail Away” has a third-verse turn where it turns out the song was about being abducted by aliens. 

I thought that they were angels but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing, come sail away come sail away

By the way, “Walk the Dinosaur” was about atomic war and human extinction. Listen to it again. 

Songs also about alien abduction: “I Ran” by Flock of Seagulls

Absolutely correct, and the cover for the album makes that totally clear. 

Here’s the lyrics where the twist is alien abduction: 

A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view

And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn’t get away

Reached out a hand to touch your face
You’re slowly disappearing from my view
‘Pearing from my view
Reached out a hand to try again
I’m floating in a beam of light with you
A beam of light with you
