The Alien

Just what the hell has happened here
Smelling smoke
Must be burning up the atmosphere
Am I lost, have I found the right place to be
Better run, better clear, better be outta my way
I'm comin' down and I'm hot
Yeah I'm hot like the sun, man I'm not of this earth
Yeah I'm somethin' to see

I slowly touch down on the planet
I'm the alien
Could be some trouble up ahead

Just got in today, landed in the USA
Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way

Just got in today, don't know if I want to stay
Think I'm gonna shoot back home
Like a cosmic ray, oh yeah, oh yeah
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive

Now they're making me a cover boy
Standing in the aisles in the supermarket tabloids
Check it out, checking in
With inquiring minds need to know everything
Like how did I get here
Where will I go
Is he red, is he white or a six foot negro Afrodite

The CIA has got a file on everything I've done
Take me to my friends in Hanger 51

Just got in today, landed in the USA
Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way
Just got in to town, wanna take a look around
Just arrived but I don't think I want to stay, oh no, oh no

They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive

I don't have a phone card to call home

They want to take me as a specimen
Dry me out, ground me into vitamins
Oh my God, maybe I am the cure

My future here it doesn't look too bright to me
I know today I gotta leave and be free, be free

Just got in today, landed in the USA
Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way
Just got into town, wanna take a look around
I just arrived but don't think I want to stay
Just got in today (just got in today)
Welcome to the USA (welcome to the USA)
Think I'm gonna shoot back home, like a cosmic ray
They'll never take me alive, they'll never take me alive
Rusted Heroes

Out on the range again
I know I've got to beware
High plains drifter my friend
I know I've got to be there

You say I've got to be gone
Keep singin' that pusherman song
I know there's someone out there
That's gonna blast my rockin' chair

There's always some cowboy motherfucker
Tryin' to kick the dust outta me

Rusted heroes
Another motherload
Top cats and dealers
Rusted heroes
Another motherload
Ain't comin' home tonight

Last night the doors were kicked in
Don't care, I wasn't home
Found out the snitch was a friend
I know he's got to be gone
Yeah man, it's such a damn shame
I'm wired and ready to hang
I haven't slept in five days
In the trunk you'll find the cocaine

There's always some damn motivated cop
Tryin' to beat the shit outta me

Rusted heroes
Another motherload
Top cats and dealers
Rusted heroes
Movin' on your own
Mad dogs and squealers
Heroes
Zeros
You sold me out
Rusted heroes
Selling all you know to mad dogs and dealers
Seems like everything I do in life is an occupational hazard

Don't look so sad now
It's not as hard as it seems
I'm just the healer and you call me the fiend
God damn you all

Rusted heroes
Another motherload
Top cats and dealers
Rusted heroes
Another motherload
Mad dogs and squealers

Breaker, breaker it's a hero brother
With another load comin' and drivin' all night to deliver
I got a trunk full of stuff and I can't get enough
Stone criminal, a beautiful sinner

Breaker, breaker 19, there's a cop up my behind
And a road block up ahead on the highway
Put the pedal to the metal to deliver this stuff
And you know I gotta do it my way
Seems like everything I do in life is an occupational hazard
WITH YOUR BITCH-SLAP-RAPPIN AND YOUR COCAINE TONGUE, YOU GET NOTHIN DONE...YOU COULD BE MINE!!!!!
