Allen Tate - Aliens

Copied!

{Verse}
I'm at the airport
I'm with the aliens, man
Waiting for you

I built a tree fort
It's 3 am in Berlin
I'm just thinking it through

{Chorus}
Nobody gets it, man
Not like you do
I hear the pipers
I know the feelings
I think I might be different now
I think I've changed

{Verse}
They're in the squares now
They came straight from their beds
Like they always do

Go off in pairs now
And then back to the beds
They've got nothing to prove

{Chorus}
We're slipping in now
The water deepens
I feel the frenzy
I'm being eaten
I think I might be different now
I think I've changed
