The National – Alien Lyrics
The National – Alien Lyrics
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
Bring you watermelon nicotine
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 the 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
