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
wierd creatures who lock up their spirits, drill holes in themselves
and live for their secrets.
They're all up-tight.
I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane, late at night when
im driving.
Take me on board
their beautiful ship, show me the world as id 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 alright.i'm
just up-tight.

a song to keep
us warm

w we are one ing peace
we hope that
you choke that you choke
we hope that
you choke that you choke
we hope that
you choke that you choke
