Lyrics to Alien-American (2004)

Again (3:38) so what do you think it means the weathers changed and how is your head well its prearranged and what are your thoughts on the politics around here well shit the optimism just fades too fast and im the first in line still you toss me back and i think its getting way too crowded in your head for me but what do think it takes to say goodbye when all i really gotta do is open up my eyes im falling again so what do you think it means that nothings changed and all the furniture has been rearranged and what are your thoughts on the spatiality damn this pessimism just stays around and if i am up then you kick me down and i think its getting too crowded in your room for me but what do think it takes to say goodbye when all i really gotta do is open up my eyes im falling again so whend it go to hell and everything change because nothing heres ever felt so strange and what are your thoughts on the bygones forsaken around here damn this optimism just was almost gone but still you come around and baby its never for long and its getting way too empty in your world for me but what do think it takes to say goodbye when all i really gotta do is open up my eyes im falling again

Cashed (2:45) its exactly like i imagined you never tell me what i want to hear its exactly like i thought it would be trapped inside my mind with all these things i fear beyond the mountains and the techno without the everybody ever known at last you realized but far too late someone took your brain and turned your heart to stone cause i cant get in to anything i cant see out of this end im in and i end up where im supposed to begin the line i walk is far too thin i want to be your anti-hero never do you right but always true i want to be your less than zero i want to know what you think about you and me and me and you cause i cant get into anything i cant see out of this end im in and i end up where im supposed to begin the line i walk is far too thin

UFO Intro (:23)

UFO (4:24) you always seemed light years away but i didnt think that you would really leave that day this solar system has its ups and its downs and life on venus aint as cool as it sounds i can see clearly most of the time but honestly i swear i never saw the signs didnt believe me when i said things could be worse than to be stuck here in this universe you said goodbye and then you headed for the hills you sold my car and stranded me with all the bills you left me for a ufo whyd you have to go i sit alone and stare at your moon rocks and cry cant bear to watch star trek cause it makes me wonder why im gonna build a rocket im gonna hope that it will fly maybe someday ill see you again in the stars above the sky gonna save my money and buy a radio tracking station gonna try my luck at newtons law of gravitation you left me for a ufo whyd you have to go you said goodbye and then you headed for the hills you stole my car and stranded me your all the bills you left me for a ufo whyd you have to go you said goodbye and then you headed for the hills you stole my car and stranded me with all your bills you left me for a ufo whyd you have to go

The Honeymoon (3:29) the honeymoons not the same without you but im remaining optimistic my love just aint the same without you but i probably wont be coming home its true but its alright yeah its alright never could write a love song about you without it sounding too sarcastic used to think the world about you but my universe is so elastic but its alright yeah its alright the sun-bleached sand where we used to stay i want to move so far away we would dwell here most each and every day i want to move so far away those vacations we would take without you i once believed were so fantastic thought i touched the heart inside you found that it was made of plastic but its alright yeah its alright the sun-bleached sand where we used to stay i want to move so far away we would dwell here almost each and every day i want to move so far away its not a pretty picture but i needed to get a shot i tried to write our story without a broken plot the honeymoons not the same without you but im remaining optimistic my love just aint the same without you but i probably wont be coming home its true but its alright yeah its alright the sun-bleached sand where we used to stay i want to move so far away we would dwell here most each and every day i want to move so far away so far away so far away so far away

Sometimes I Think (3:00) well i took the clock i took the lamp i took the fertilizer i locked the doors i poured the gas i lit the match i took the oath i bowed my head i breathed the fumes but you took my car you headed west and you were gone well freedom rang through my ears and choked back acidic tears i tossed away the hopes and the money and the years i was reborn i went to church i sought a rock where i could perch i was gonna get it if it didnt beat me to it first i spiked the punch i punched my glass i blew a 3.0 i locked the doors i hit the gas i ran that light i slept in jail i called for bail then i got out but you took my car you headed south and you were gone so now im growing up and getting older and sometimes they say ive gotten colder around here im an anti-contender and i live near the park in a four-plex in uptown denver well sometimes i bleed from too much drinkin and sometimes i have just too much fun and sometimes i think about you baby if sometimes into you ill ever run

Catching On (the stupid song) (5:36) well im finally catching on yeah im beginning to apprehend and im seeing it all so crystal clear that this surely aint no means to no end and im pulling out all the stops and im shaking here in the absolved and im dismayed at the failure i am it seems my car aint the only thing thats stalled youre so stupid - how you could have been so dumb i was wondering that myself youre so stupid - how you could have been so wrong i was wondering that, i was wondering that myself well im figuring the -what went bad and im reckoning the reasons why because im sure that it cant be me as i know i stand much bigger than my size sometimes i notice im way off the target occasionally i see im stuck in the trough whatever the matter im keen to the coolness so all you had to do was tell me to %!#@ off youre so stupid how you could have been so wrong i was wondering that myself youre so stupid how you could have been so dumb i was wondering that, i was wondering that myself well im finally catching on yeah im beginning to apprehend and im seeing it all so crystal clear that this surely aint no means to no end youre so stupid how you could have been so dumb i was wondering that myself im so stupid howve i could have been so wrong i was wondering that, i was wondering that myself

Dysfunktional (2:41) i felt kind of jaded today when i called out your name and you looked the other way i guess i should have known by the padlock on your door and your disconnected phone you said you want me dead cause i keep messing with your head why cant you see my sympathy youre even crazier than me why do you lie to me when youre so hard to believe its almost criminal how youre so dysfunktional im not really too shocked to know that your only goal in life is the jerry springer show they said you were over the top then i saw you as that drunken shirtless stupid guy on cops you said you want me dead cause i keep messing with your head why cant you see my sympathy youre even crazier than me why do you lie to me when youre so hard to believe its almost criminal how youre so dysfunktional you asked me to be there for you and then you changed your mind and now youve changed your mind so now youre pushing me away so please dont waste my time waste my time waste my time why do you lie to me when youre so hard to believe its almost criminal how youre so dysfunktional why do you lie to me when youre so hard to believe its almost criminal how youre so dysfunktional

Shades of Grey (4:48) i thought you were right there in the crowd so i pondered these things to you aloud i thought you were right there in my sight i was sure i knew my day for night i thought i hold you in my hands so i ran and vanished in your lands i thought you were right there in my wake but once again thats my mistake been breaking down myself over you when i noticed you had better things to do you stole all my friends away i didnt need em anyway im really not myself today the blue and black fade into grey i thought i was almost finally there till you came and caught me unaware i thought i was on the chosen path now looking back thats such a laugh im a little more stupid than i look i couldnt give you more than youve already took you stole all my friends away i didnt need em anyway im really not myself today the blue and black fade into grey and maybe youll be all alone when ive broken everything i own tangled in the elements ive torn but youve seen me far worse off before been breaking down myself over you when i noticed you had better things to do you stole all my friends away i didnt need em anyway im really not myself today the blue and black fade into grey

Couldnt Anything (3:37) i couldnt think of anything to do so i gathered my pens and wrote a letter to you it said baby dont free your thoughts of me just yet i ran down the block and crashed into your sister i asked for your number she said it wasnt listed she said maybe you should spend some time thinking bout what youve done well i dont want to think about the things i dont remember and i dont want to consider where i could have been if i hadnt ever i couldnt think of a way to respond so i went to your house by the church near the pond and tapped on your door and sang my song so resolutely baby i could see in the window you were watching the game and suddenly i started to feel pretty lame mama always told me to turn back when your reaction is insane but i wont go on and on about the things i dont remember its never crucial anyway to these predicaments i render i couldnt think of a damn thing to write so i went to the kitchen and poured a whiskey and sprite poured gasoline on the candles you gave me and watched them burn i called up your house and got the machine i looked at your letter at the spaces between what it said and what the hell did it mean now i dont know what i did to upset you i cant even recall when i ever met you and everyone has told me think hard about my conduct being true so i wracked my thoughts for an hour or two and i realized what i said to you that night i blew from town i said im probably not coming back for you but i wont go on and on about the things i dont remember i know im only limited to what i want to see
