Alien Lyrics by Toyah

I Want To Be Free

1981

I'm sorry I'm late I was delayed in time
Having the last supper with some old friends of mine
Relics of death (x4)
The monolithic faces with contoured gaze
Said these war merchants have seen better days

I don't break the ice, I melt it
I don't open doors, I smash them down
I don't wanna be what you want me to be
If you wanna see some fun just hang around

Here they are between A and B
Here I am between one and three
Alien (x4)
Their concave nose, electric blue daze
Tubular ears with one square face

I don't break the ice, I melt it
I don't open doors, I smash them down
I don't wanna be what you want me to be
If you wanna see some fun just hang around

You never lead a normal life
Your luminous body, your depressed wife
The alien way to every word you say
Is an inspiration to an uninspired day

Black is black, white is white
Life is life from nine to five
But my eyes search like spotlights
My eyes search like spotlights

I don't break the ice, I melt it
I don't open doors, I smash them down
I don't wanna be what you want me to be
If you wanna see some fun just hang around
I don't break the ice, I melt it
I don't open doors, I smash them down
I don't wanna be what you want me to be
If you wanna see some fun just hang around

Here you are between A and B
Here I am between one and three
But my eyes search like spotlights

My eyes search like spotlights
My eyes search like spotlights...
