Lyrics
Alien
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm a liar if it looks like I know what I'm doing
The bitter truth is
It's like I'm standing in the center of a big intersection
Asking directions
But no one slows, they got places to go
And they don't see me, but I
Just need a ride to an office or a job application (yeah, right)
Maybe I'll fake them
Oh, I lost my way
Another lonely ghost back from the barren plain
So I'll just wait
For all the doors to close, take me away again
I am the patron saint of chaos
If you pray, I will answer with nothing
How I survived out there without wasting away
It's a cosmic mystery
And I don't want to go back, no
But it's clear nobody wants me here
So when they're tired they can look to the horizon and find me
Just a shadow shimmering
Oh, I lost my way
Another lonely ghost back from the barren plain
So I'll just wait
For all the doors to close and take me away again
Take me away again
Take me away again
All I've known
Is a wasteland as my home
So I will go
When all the doors close again
They never let me back in
Not after where I've been
I'm just an alien
I'm just an alien
Oh, I lost my way
Another lonely ghost back from the barren plain
So I'll just wait
For all the doors to close and take me away again
Take me away again
Take me away again
They never let me back in
Not after where I've been
I'm just an alien
I'm just an alien
