lyrics

There is no fur on me
no horns or claws
my bare skin
means I must live indoors
unlike my neighbors

Almost everyone
is afraid of me
they run away
at the sight of me

I do not hunt
or forage
I cook my food
and rent storage

I am an alien

I’m always too warm or cold
I wear a covering
heat my house with fire
in a metal thing
in the summer
air conditioning.

I have systems
to eliminate
bodily and
household waste

I visualize my future
I regret my past

I am an alien

I am an alien
and I got money
to spend

I like my friends
but I don’t smell them

I can talk
with words and tell them

I don’t seem to blend
though I can bend

I think I only pretend
to be a human

I am an alien
