The Alien - Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow

My bones are the bars of a jail And I've never felt completely female I sleep when the sun starts to rise So, I spend the night drying my eyes And I watch all the humans, they move place to place And hide in plain sight with that look on their face Do they feel the same or is it just me? Wish I could fly into that beautiful beam And I don't fit in, I'm struggling I'm trying to be one of them But I'm an alien around here And I don't fit in, I'm struggling I'm trying to be one of them But I'm an alien around here I'm an alien around here My soul's crawling out of my skin Yeah, this gravity's wearing me thin I'd probably breathe better on Mars Floating up there above the stars And I watch all the humans, they move place to place And hide in plain sight with that look in their face Do they feel the pain or is it just me? Wish I could fly into that beautiful beam And I don't fit in, I'm struggling I'm trying to be one of them But I'm an alien around here And I don't fit in, I'm struggling I'm trying to be one of them But I'm an alien around here I'm an alien around here They look at me like I'm from light-years away They look at me like I'm from light-years away And I don't fit in, I'm struggling Now I am not trying to be one of them I'm an alien around here

Try not to worry there's a voiceover Go on, go quiet for a change We can dial down the daylight a little I think the candy blue sky's messing with our brains We must have hit our heads Don't expect familiar feelings No one knows what to talk about Just come lay down here on the couch Drop down out of the clouds you're in Drop down like an alien I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in Drop down like an alien I'll find you something fun to wear That goes along with all your feelings We'll go extremely vivid Buttoned up and unrevealing I can be your nurse or something Bring you watermelon nicotine I can hold a swimmer here To the shore by a string Hurry up, we don't have time Avalanches in my mind I'm getting buried in this dream It's just as soapy as it seems Drop down out of the clouds you're in Drop down like an alien I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in Drop down like an alien There's this one old idea I'm having Stuck in a car wash somewhere and you can't stop laughing Off the rails and no one's coming to get us I think I like it here, so I'm gonna let 'em forget us Hurry up, we don't have time Avalanches in my mind I'm getting buried in this dream It's just as soapy as it seems Drop down out of the clouds you're in Drop down like an alien I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in Drop down like an alien Drop down out of the clouds you're in Drop down like an alien I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in Drop down like an alien
