lyrics

The first time I saw you,
I thought I had lost my mind.
I was taking a piss outside,
and I thought I had lost my mind.
Saw you floating up in the sky,
nothing but a beautiful light
In the middle of the Kansas sky.
Nothing ever felt so right.

So I ran home through the back yard,
Through the shadow of the parked car.
I crept in through the side door.
I want just a little more.

You're my alien lover, baby,
and everything was going fine.
Now you're driving me crazy,
always trying to read my mind.
When I said I never loved you,
why did I even try?
You saw right through my bullshit.
You knew that was just a lie.

So I ran home through the back yard,
Through the shadow of the parked car.
I crept in through the side door.
I want just a little more.

You're my alien lover, baby,
but I'm starting to feel the strain.
Our interplanetary romance,
keep your thought-waves off my brain.
When you said you'd always love me,
why did you even start?
You traveled all those goddamn light-years
just to break my heart.

So I ran home through the back yard,
Through the shadow of the parked car.
I crept in through the side door.
I can't take any more.

When the nights get long,
and the Kansas sky groes cold,
I search up in the sky for a hand to hold.
One who sees my mind as more than an equation,
More than just a tool to help with your invasion.

So I ran home through the back yard,
Through the shadow of the parked car.
I crept in through the side door.
I don't want any more.

You're my alien lover, baby,
and we'll always have that night
Before your telepathic bullshit started that big fight.

I remember all your romance,
and the way your forehead shines,
Glowing with that bright light
every time you'd read my mind.

Why'd you read my mind?
