On the Night We Fell to Earth

lyrics

Nine o'clock and a shower
I find my way to the door
Am I too old to want to sing?

Just give me an hour
To try to make this my own
You know this all means everything.

'Cause every time I've left here
You know I came back again
It's not that I feel at home
It's just my hair is getting thin
So don't take my indifference for agreeability
You know that heaven's a war zone and we're all it's casualties
But you can sing...sing!

I find it hard to unwind
When I'm tight like a screw
Put on a suit
I'm new and improved!

Just give me some time
That's all I need out of you
Just a little more time before I'm all used.

'Cause every time I left here
You know I came back again
It's not that I feel at home
It's just my hair is getting thin
Being back in this town
I see how everything has changed
Everyone I know is a stranger
Who's pretending to be strange
So, baby, take off your clothes
And dance like they can't see you're afraid
'Cause when the spotlight is turned off
All that's missing is what remains.
