Alien

City light
White on white
In your eyes
Stings your lips
Alien
Before it slips away

Paper dolls
On the wires
Set on fire
That which comes
Between us
And takes us all
Away

Sorry, sometimes
I get carried away
Up on the movie screen
Black beauty limousines for you
These dreams of Chelsea days
Fake flowers to the grave for you
Helpless and glimmering
Dear Sundays, up all night with you

Sorry, sometimes
I get carried away
Sorry, sometimes
I get carried away

Sorry, sometimes
Helpless and glimmering
Fake flowers to the grave for you
I get carried away

Sorry, sometimes
Up on the movie screen
Fake flowers to the grave for you
I get carried away
Sorry, sometimes
Helpless and glimmering
Fake flowers to the grave for you
I get carried away
