Alien

from outer reaches
unimagined by the men
who make a habit out of
dreaming of an end
to unknown things

lost and abandoned
in his own mind
like a kind of
elder statesman
stated once upon a time
as he lay in bed

it's a lazy day a sunny day
we're waiting for you
to keep the hope alive
don't you know
you've gotta keep your limitations at bay
or they'll eat you up, they'll eat you up

alive and kicking
I hear everybody screaming
they think the war is over
but it's only just beginning
got a lotta bombs we're dropping
one and one after another
and wait wait wait for the calm
to descend

live your own life
silver spoon
don't be led
by the old man
on the wall
in the room where you lay your head

it's a lazy day a sunny day
we're waiting for you
to keep the hope alive
don't you know
you've gotta keep your limitations at bay
or they'll eat you up, they'll eat the world

alive and kicking
I hear everybody screaming
they think the war is over
but it's only just beginning
got a lotta bombs we're dropping
one and one after another
we just wait wait wait for the end

to fall
on our knees
to pray as we please
there's no time to lose
there's no time to lose

live your own life
silver spoon
don't be led
by the old man
on the wall
in the room where you lay your head
