Alien Lyrics - Terra Incognita - Chris Whitley

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
