The stars above us twinkle
Like eyes or flashing teeth
Whose eyes are these that watch us
So many light-years beneath
It seemed so very cold up there
So far from Island Earth
But we've wanted just to join them
From the moment of our birth

**(chorus:)**
There's aliens in our midst
Where they come from, no one knows
There's aliens in our midst
They look like me and you
There's aliens in our midst
This place seems strange to them
There's aliens in our midst
Someday their dreams will come true

This friend of mine was five years old
He dressed up in his sister's clothes
And his daddy got so mad
He whipped him with a rubber hose
But he grew up O-K
And made his way to junior high
And as things would have it fell in love
And gave his ring to another guy
