The Alien Lyrics by Slash’s Snakepit

Ain’t Life Grand

0

[Verse 1]
Just what the hell has happened here?
Smelling smoke, burning up the atmosphere
Am I lost, have I found the right place to be?
Better run, better clear, better outta my way
I'm comin' down and I'm hot
Yeah, I'm hot like the sun
And I'm not of this Earth
Man, I'm somethin' to see

[Pre-Chorus]
I slowly touch down on the planet, I'm the alien
Could be some trouble up ahead

[Chorus]
Just got in, today
Landed in the USA
Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way
Just got in, today
Don't know if I wanna stay
Think I'm gonna shoot back home on a cosmic ray
Oh yeah, oh yeah

They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive

[Verse 2]
Now they're making me a cover boy
Standing in the aisles in the supermarket tabloids
Check it out, checking in with inquiring minds
Need to know everything
Like, how did I get here?
Where will I go?
"Is he red, is he white or a six-foot negro, or an Afrodite?"

[Pre-Chorus]
The CIA has got a file on everything I've done
Take me to my friends in Hangar 51

[Chorus]
Just got in today
Landed in the USA
Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way
Just got into town, wanna take a look around
Just arrived, but I don't think I want to stay
Oh no, oh no

They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive

[Bridge]
I don't have a phone card to call home

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
They want to take me as a specimen
Dry me out, grind me into vitamins
Oh my God, maybe I am the cure

[Pre-Chorus]
My future here, it doesn't look too bright, to me
I know, today, I gotta leave
And be free
Be free

[Chorus]
Just got in today
Landed in the USA
Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way
Just got into town, wanna take a look around
I just arrived, but don't think I want to stay
Just got in today (Just got in today)
Welcome to the USA (Welcome to the USA)
Think I wanna shoot back home, like a cosmic ray

They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
