Alien Afternoon

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Just another alien afternoon

Just another alien afternoon

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Just another alien afternoon

Just another alien afternoon

[Bridge]

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

[Outro]

(We are home)

(We are your home) Not another alien afternoon

(We are all your home)

(We are home)

(We are your home)

(We are all your home) Never more to go wandering

Never leaving my world behind

(We are home) There was never a reason

(We are your home) To leave my heart and my home behind

(We are all your home) Where I was born is where I should be now

I would never be lonely, I would never be sad again

(We are home) I wanted to go anywhere

(We are your home) I wanted to see how strange it all could be

(We are all your home) Nothing would ever take me away again

Never more to go wandering, never leaving my world behind

(We are home) No, no, no, no

(We are your home) I gotta get out,  get out, wanna get out

(We are all your home) Nothing will ever take me away again

Away again

(We are home) No, no, no, no

(We are your home) I wanna go away again

(We are all your home) Nothing will ever take me away again
