Alien

Alien - The National

Lyrics by：Carin Besser/Matt Berninger

Composed by：Bryce Dessner/Carin Besser/Matt Berninger

Try not to worry there's a voiceover

Go on go quiet for a change

We can dial down the daylight a little

I think the candy-blue sky's messing with our brains

We must have hit our heads

Don't expect familiar feelings

No one knows what to talk about

Just come lay down here on the couch

Drop down out of the clouds you're in

Drop down like an alien

I'll go outside cry and come right back in

Drop down like an alien

I'll find you something fun to wear

That goes along with all your feelings

We'll go extremely vivid

Buttoned up and unrevealing

I can be your nurse or something

Bring you watermelon n******e

I can hold a swimmer here

To the shore by a string

Hurry up we don't have time

Avalanches in my mind

I'm getting buried in this dream

It's just as soapy as it seems

Drop down out of the clouds you're in

Drop down like an alien

I'll go outside cry and come right back in

Drop down like an alien

There's this one old idea I'm having

Stuck in a car wash somewhere and you can't stop laughing

Off the rails and no one's coming to get us

I think I like it here so I'm gonna let 'em forget us

Hurry up we don't have time

Avalanches in my mind

I'm getting buried in this dream

It's just as soapy as it seems

Drop down out of the clouds you're in

Drop down like an alien

I'll go outside cry and come right back in

Drop down like an alien

Drop down out of the clouds you're in

Drop down like an alien

I'll go outside cry and come right back in

Drop down like an alien
