GENESIS - Alien Afternoon lyrics

rate me

Woke up in the morning staggered out of bed

Thought about getting back againbut went downstairs instead

Read the daily paper have to know the truth

Slammed the door as I ran outsidelooked 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 menothing 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

Nononono

Nothing will ever take me away againaway again

Nononono
