A deathly calm hung over the valley As I landed between the trees A clearing my spaceship had seen in the telescope From three thousand parsecs away Cosmetically fashioned to dress stock statistical My background being devised A bus for the village of harvest hill Where my habitat station would lie The main street was dossier Straight from the manuscript briefing I had consumed Into the coffee bar, converse with the locals Accepted as a wanderer They told me their stories weaving their fantasies Born of their dreams of the world Stayed me a home of sorts out in the hills While my memory banks filled in time I am the alien Born out of metal and bred for the purpose of learning Every word that is said is stored inside my head for relaying To the satellite suns of the M31 Spiral Galaxy Fit so well they can’t tell that I’m different Ten years have passed on earth As my batteries have gathered informative views With a wife and a family, living in harmony With the newsreel competitive scale My social connections and favored affections Reflecting my futuristic views A member of public, well known in the gossip No one really knowing the truth I am the alien Born out of metal and bred for the purpose of learning Every word that is said is stored inside my head for relaying To the satellite suns of the M31 Spiral Galaxy Fit so well they can’t tell that I’m different From way in the cosmos A message they send me Receive another one of my own Credits I’m shown, identity unknown to me Precaution in case we’re discovered She has chosen a town in which she will live To channel her learning back home As we spread across your planet to sustain our existence And regain all the things we have lost I am the alien Born out of metal and bred for the purpose of learning Every word that is said is stored inside my head for relaying To the satellite suns of the M31 Spiral Galaxy Fit so well they can’t tell that I’m different I am the alien! I am the alien! I am the alien! Alien! Alien!
