Chris Whitley – Alien lyrics

Everybody knows I can tell how you fill your clothes I can see it at the edge of your smile So strange about the dormant desire But everybody knows the alien I can tell how you try to pretend You can see now, I got a foreign friend Everybody knows the alien Everybody knows I can feel it as the tension grows I can see it at the edge of your eyes So strange how it lights up the sky But everybody knows the alien I can tell how you try to pretend You can see now, I got a foreign friend Everybody knows the alien Everybody knows the alien I can tell how you try to pretend You can see now, I got a foreign friend Everybody knows the alien Everyone come out Got shades for the shadows of doubt Get blind, it's most too clear Could get killed by beauty and fear Porcelain face on a steel device Mind of glass and a mask of ice Someone is a million years from home Someone is a stranger and is never alone Because everybody knows the alien I can tell how you try to pretend You can see now, I got a foreign friend Everybody knows the alien Everybody knows the alien I can tell how you try to pretend You can see now, I got a foreign friend Everybody knows the alien But everybody knows the alien But everybody knows the alien But everybody knows the alien Explain Request ×
