Thought about getting back again, but went downstairs instead
Read the daily paper have to know the truth
Slammed the door as i ran outside, looked at my watch and cried
Gotta get to work on time
Gotta get to work on time
Then the sky turned a deeper blue
Not a cloud as the sun shone through
But all around rain kept falling to the ground
The wind was blowing but the trees didn't make a sound
Just another alien afternoon
Just another alien afternoon
Time that i was leaving while there's still a chance
Before i start believing in what i see or hear
Nothing here to keep me, nothing anywhere
Gotta get out pack my bags before i go insane
Gotta get away in time
Gotta get away in time
Then the sky turned from blue to green
Took on colours i have never seen
Then a sound started ringing in my ears
I heard voices but in truth there's nobody there
Just another alien afternoon
Just another alien afternoon
To be there back where i belong
To feel again the wind upon my face
To see again all that i took for granted
All that i left and everything i knew
We are home
We are your home
We are all your home
Not another alien afternoon
Never more to go wandering
Never leaving my world behind
There was never a reason
To leave my heart and my home behind
Where i was born is where i should be now
I would never be lonely
I would never be sad again
I wanted to go anywhere
I wanted to see how strange it all could be
Nothing would ever take me away again
Never more to go wandering
Never leaving my world behind
No, no, no, no
Nothing will ever take me away again, away again
No, no, no, no
Woke up in the morning staggered out of bed Thought about getting back again, but went downstairs instead Read the daily paper have to know the truth Slammed the door as i ran outside, looked at my watch and cried Gotta get to work on time Gotta get to work on time Then the sky turned a deeper blue Not a cloud as the sun shone through But all around rain kept falling to the ground The wind was blowing but the trees didn't make a sound Just another alien afternoon Just another alien afternoon Time that i was leaving while there's still a chance Before i start believing in what i see or hear Nothing here to keep me, nothing anywhere Gotta get out pack my bags before i go insane Gotta get away in time Gotta get away in time Then the sky turned from blue to green Took on colours i have never seen Then a sound started ringing in my ears I heard voices but in truth there's nobody there Just another alien afternoon Just another alien afternoon To be there back where i belong To feel again the wind upon my face To see again all that i took for granted All that i left and everything i knew We are home We are your home We are all your home Not another alien afternoon Never more to go wandering Never leaving my world behind There was never a reason To leave my heart and my home behind Where i was born is where i should be now I would never be lonely I would never be sad again I wanted to go anywhere I wanted to see how strange it all could be Nothing would ever take me away again Never more to go wandering Never leaving my world behind No, no, no, no Nothing will ever take me away again, away again No, no, no, no Explain Request ×
