NEW SONG: ALIEN
ALIEN
written 2-16-11 while on massive amounts of codeine
copyright john common
I wanna be an alien
With an alien beard
I wanna fly through the heavens
And do something weird
I’m gonna light up my forehead
And make myself disappear
I wanna be an alien
And get the hell out of here
But I’m stuck in this bar with you
I’m stuck in this bar with you
Everything I do is wrong
No one understands my song
Somebody show some love to the alien…
I wanna be an alien
Cause I already am
I wanna blow your human mind
And be a new model man
I'll take the finest specimens
You have nothing to fear
I wanna be an alien
And get the hell out of here
But I’m stuck in this bar with you
I’m stuck in this bar with you
Everything I do is wrong
No one understands my song
Somebody show some love to the alien
Show some love to the alien…
Show some love to the alien…
Show some love to the alien…
