Chris Whitley Alien
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 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 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 the alien
I can tell how you try to pretend
You can see now, I got a foreign friend
Everybody knows the alien
Everyone come out
Got shades for the shadows of doubt
Get blind, it's most too clear
Could get killed by beauty and fear
Porcelain face on a steel device
Mind of glass and a mask of ice
Someone is a million years from home
Someone is a stranger and is never alone
Because 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 the alien
I can tell how you try to pretend
You can see now, I got a foreign friend
Everybody knows the alien
But everybody knows the alien
But everybody knows the alien
But everybody knows the alien
