Subterranean Homesick Alien Lyrics - Easy Star All-stars

The breath of the morning I keep forgetting 

The smell of the warm summer air 

I live in a town where you can't smell a thing 

You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement 

Up above, aliens hover 

Making home movies for the folks back home 

Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits 

Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets 

They're all uptight, uptight 

They're all uptight, uptight 

Uptight, uptight 

I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane 

Late at night when I'm driving 

Take me on board of their beautiful ship 

Show me the world as I'd love to see it 

I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me 

They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely 

I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life 

They'd shut me away, but I'll be alright, alright 

I'm just uptight, uptight 

I'm just uptight, uptight 

Uptight, uptight 

I'm just uptight, uptight 

Just uptight 

Uptight
