Slash's Snakepit - The Alien lyrics

rate me

Just what the hell has happened here

Smelling smoke

Must be burning up the atmosphere

Am I lost, have I found the right place to be

Better run, better clear, better be outta my way

I'm comin' down and I'm hot

Yeah I'm hot like the sun, man I'm not of this earth

Yeah I'm somethin' to see

I slowly touch down on the planet

I'm the alien

Could be some trouble up ahead

Just got in today, landed in the USA

Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way

Just got in today, don't know if I want to stay

Think I'm gonna shoot back home

Like a cosmic ray, oh yeah, oh yeah

They'll never take me alive

They'll never take me alive

Now they're making me a cover boy

Standing in the aisles in the supermarket tabloids

Check it out, checking in

With inquiring minds need to know everything

Like how did I get here

Where will I go

Is he red, is he white or a six foot negro Afrodite

The CIA has got a file on everything I've done

Take me to my friends in Hanger 51

Just got in today, landed in the USA

Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way

Just got in to town, wanna take a look around

Just arrived but I don't think I want to stay, oh no, oh no

They'll never take me alive

They'll never take me alive

I don't have a phone card to call home

They want to take me as a specimen

Dry me out, ground me into vitamins

Oh my God, maybe I am the cure

My future here it doesn't look too bright to me

I know today I gotta leave and be free, be free

Just got in today, landed in the USA

Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way

Just got into town, wanna take a look around

I just arrived but don't think I want to stay

Just got in today (just got in today)

Welcome to the USA (welcome to the USA)

Think I'm gonna shoot back home, like a cosmic ray

They'll never take me alive, they'll never take me alive
