Woke up in the morning staggered out of bed
|
Thought about getting back again, but went downstairs instead
|
Read the daily paper have to know the truth
|
Slammed the door as I ran outside, looked at my watch and cried
|
Gotta get to work on time
|
Gotta get to work on time
|
|
Then the sky turned a deeper blue
|
Not a cloud as the sun shone through
|
But all around rain kept falling to the ground
|
The wind was blowing but the trees didn't make a sound
|
Just another alien afternoon
|
Just another alien afternoon
|
|
Time that I was leaving while there's still a chance
|
Before I start believing in what I see or hear
|
Nothing here to keep me, nothing anywhere
|
Gotta get out pack my bags before I go insane
|
Gotta get away in time
|
Gotta get away in time
|
|
Then the sky turned from blue to green
|
Took on colours I have never seen
|
Then a sound started ringing in my ears
|
I heard voices but in truth there's nobody there
|
Just another alien afternoon
|
Just another alien afternoon
|
|
To be there back where I belong
|
To feel again the wind upon my face
|
To see again all that I took for granted
|
All that I left and everything I knew
|
|
We are home
|
We are your home
|
We are all your home
|
|
Not another alien afternoon
|
|
Never more to go wandering
|
Never leaving my world behind
|
|
There was never a reason
|
To leave my heart and my home behind
|
Where I was born is where I should be now
|
I would never be lonely
|
I would never be sad again
|
|
I wanted to go anywhere
|
I wanted to see how strange it all could be
|
Nothing would ever take me away again
|
Never more to go wandering
|
Never leaving my world behind
|
No, no, no, no
|
Nothing will ever take me away again, away again
|
No, no, no, no
|
