Am I an Alien Here

I had a dream you left me for someone who was mean to me So I cried and left for Mexico Well I tried to learn to surf by riding a machine that I kept beside the window It was not a good way to be It was not a good way to be I had a dream I was in school, I was learning from the best how to overcome my blues They said, here's a spider in a bowl, here's Poseidon's white bull Now, just pretend you have the right to choose And I say, am I an alien here? Here in the cave of my skull Crawling around in the dark Dark to the ones I love Put fodder on the fire, get water from the well It's a simple kind of life And happiness is easy, it's a story that you tell, it's a teardrop in your eye And I had a dream that he died, and then he died, then he died, and then mama died too And somewhere in the world an evil genius was on the rise And then Bowie died, and everybody said Hell, what are we gonna do Am I an alien here? Here in the cave of my skull Crawling around in the dark Dark to the ones I love Am I an alien here? Here in my room --- Am I an Alien Here - Wolf Parade
