Chris Whitley – Alien lyrics

Album: Terra Incognita

Everybody knows
I can tell how you fill your clothes
I can see it at the edge of your smile
So strange about the dormant desire
But

Chorus
Everybody knows the alien
I can tell how you try to pretend
You can see now, I got a foreign friend
Everybody knows the alien
Everybody knows
I can feel it as the tension grows
I can see it at the edge of your eyes
So strange how it lights up the sky
But

Chorus
Chorus
Everyone come out
Got shades for the shadows of doubt
Get blind when it's most too clear
Get killed by beauty and fear
Porcelain face with a steel device
Mind of glass 'neath a mask of ice
Someone is a million years from home
Someone is a stranger and is never alone
Because
