Genesis
Alien Afternoon
[Verse 1]
Woke up in the morning
Staggered out of bed
Thought about getting back again
But went downstairs instead
Read the daily paper
Have to know the truth
Slammed the door as I ran outside
Looked at my watch and cried
Gotta get to work on time
Gotta get to work on time

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the sky turned a deeper blue
Not a cloud as the sun shone through
But all around rain kept falling to the ground
The wind was blowing but the trees didn't make a sound

[Chorus]
Just another alien afternoon
Just another alien afternoon

[Verse 2]
Time that I was leaving
While there's still a chance
Before I start believing
In what I see or hear
Nothing here to keep me
Nothing anywhere
Gotta get out pack my bags
Before I go insane
Gotta get away in time
Gotta get away in time
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the sky turned from blue to green
Took on colours I have never seen
Then a sound started ringing in my ears
I heard voices but in truth there's nobody there

[Chorus]
Just another alien afternoon
Just another alien afternoon

[Bridge]
To be there back where I belong
To feel again the wind upon my face
To see again all that I took for granted
All that I left and everything I knew

[Outro]
(We are home)
(We are your home) Not another alien afternoon
(We are all your home)
(We are home)
(We are your home)
(We are all your home) Never more to go wandering
Never leaving my world behind
(We are home) There was never a reason
(We are your home) To leave my heart and my home behind
(We are all your home) Where I was born is where I should be now
I would never be lonely, I would never be sad again
(We are home) I wanted to go anywhere
(We are your home) I wanted to see how strange it all could be
(We are all your home) Nothing would ever take me away again
Never more to go wandering, never leaving my world behind
(We are home) No, no, no, no
(We are your home) I gotta get out, get out, wanna get out
(We are all your home) Nothing will ever take me away again
Away again
(We are home) No, no, no, no
(We are your home) I wanna go away again
(We are all your home) Nothing will ever take me away again
