I had a dream you left me for someone who was mean to meSo I cried and left for MexicoWell I tried to learn to surf by riding a machine that I kept beside the windowIt was not a good way to beIt was not a good way to beI had a dream I was in school, I was learning from the best how to overcome my bluesThey said, here's a spider in a bowl, here's Poseidon's white bullNow, just pretend you have the right to chooseAnd I say, am I an alien here?Here in the cave of my skullCrawling around in the darkDark to the ones I lovePut fodder on the fire, get water from the wellIt's a simple kind of lifeAnd happiness is easy, it's a story that you tell, it's a teardrop in your eyeAnd I had a dream that he died, and then he died, then he died, and then mama died tooAnd somewhere in the world an evil genius was on the riseAnd then Bowie died, and everybody saidHell, what are we gonna doAm I an alien here?Here in the cave of my skullCrawling around in the darkDark to the ones I loveAm I an alien here?Here in my room
