ALIEN AFTERNOON 7.52
Woke up in the morning staggered out of bed,
Thought about getting back again but went downstairs instead.
Read the daily paper have to know the truth,
Slammed the door as I ran outside, looked at my watch and cried
Gotta get to work on time
Gotta get to work on time.
Then the sky turned a deeper blue,
Not a cloud as the sun shone through.
But all around rain kept falling to the ground,
The wind was blowing but the trees didn't make a sound.
Just another alien afternoon
Just another alien afternoon.
Time that I was leaving while there's still a chance,
Before I start believing in what I see or hear.
Nothing here to keep me, nothing anywhere,
Gotta get out pack my bags before I go insane,
Gotta get away in time
Gotta get away in time.
Then the sky turned from blue to green,
Took on colours I have never seen,
Then a sound started ringing in my ears,
I heard voices but in truth there's nobody there.
Just another alien afternoon
Just another alien afternoon.
To be there back where I belong,
To feel again the wind upon my face,
To see again all that I took for granted
All that I left and everything I knew.
We are home
We are your home
We are all your home
Not another alien afternoon
Never more to go wandering
Never leaving my world behind.
There was never a reason
To leave my heart and my home behind,
Where I was born is where I should be now.
I would never be lonely
I would never be sad again.
I wanted to go anywhere,
I wanted to see how strange it all could be.
Nothing ever take me away again.
Never more to go wandering
Never leaving my world behind.
