subterranean homesick alien

the breath if 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

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
