[Verse 1]
In a world policed by children
In a game of fame and power
We forget it’s all a program
We’re in too far to tell

[Pre-Chorus 1]
So convinced we’re making progress, it’s a lie
We divide ourselves to collide

[Chorus]
Alien angel
Alien, alien
Alien angel
Alien, alien
Alien angel

[Verse 2]
We knock heads about the answers
We protest and guess and judge
We need an off-world enemy concept
Someone far away to loathe

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Can you convince us that this spaceship should survive?
We divide ourselves to collide
[Chorus]
Alien angel
Alien, alien
Alien angel
Alien, alien

[Bridge]
I feel infinite, but how high am I?
Guilty, yeah, but of what type of crime?
Loan the tools, maybe we'll wake up
Tune the fork to our frustration

[Chorus]
Alien angel
Alien, alien
Alien angel
Alien, alien
Alien angel
