SUBTERRANEAN HOMESICK ALIEN

The breath of the morning

I keep forgetting the smell of the warm summer air

I live in a town where you can't smell a thing

You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement

Up above Aliens hover making home movies for the folks back home

Of all these weird creatures Who lock up their spirits

Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets

They're all

uptight . . Uptight

Uptight . . Uptight

Uptight . . Uptight

Uptight . . Uptight

I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane late at night when I'm driving

Take me on board their beautiful ship

Show me the world as I'd love to see it

I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe

They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely

I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life

They'd shut me away . . . But I'd be all right

All right

I'm just

uptight . . Uptight

Uptight . . Uptight

Uptight . . Uptight

Uptight . . Uptight

BACK...
