The National - Alien Lyrics

[Verse 1]Try not to worry there's a voiceoverGo on, go quiet for a changeWe can dial down the daylight a littleI think the candy blue sky's messing with our brains[Pre-Chorus]We must have hit our headsDon't expect familiar feelingsNo one knows what to talk aboutJust come lay down here on the couch[Chorus]Drop down out of the clouds you're inDrop down like an alienI'll go outside, cry, and come right back inDrop down like an alien[Verse 2]I'll find you something fun to wearThat goes along with all your feelingsWe'll go extremely vividButtoned up and unrevealingI can be your nurse or somethingBring you watermelon nicotineI can hold a swimmer hereTo the shore by a string[Pre-Chorus]Hurry up, we don't have timeAvalanches in my mindI'm getting buried in this dreamIt's just as soapy as it seems[Chorus]Drop down out of the clouds you're inDrop down like an alienI'll go outside, cry, and come right back inDrop down like an alien[Bridge]There's this one old idea I'm havingStuck in a car wash somewhere and you can't stop laughingOff the rails and no one's coming to get usI think I like it here, so I'm gonna let 'em forget us[Pre-Chorus]Hurry up, we don't have timeAvalanches in my mindI'm getting buried in this dreamIt's just as soapy as it seems[Chorus]Drop down out of the clouds you're inDrop down like an alienI'll go outside, cry, and come right back inDrop down like an alien[Guitar Solo][Chorus]Drop down out of the clouds you're inDrop down like an alienI'll go outside, cry, and come right back inDrop down like an alien
