Radiohead - Ok Computer (1997) - Subterranean Homesick Alien lyrics

  • The breath of the morning
    I keep forgetting the smell of the warm summer air
    I live in a town where you can't smell a thing
    You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement
    Up above aliens hover making home movies
    for the folks back home
    Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
    Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets

    They're all uptight, uptight, uptight, uptight

    I wish that they'd swoop down
    in the country lane late at night when I'm driving
    Take me onboard their beautiful ship
    show me the weird world as I'd love to see it
    I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me
    They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely
    I'd show them the stars
    and the meaning of life they'd shut me away
    But I'll be all right, all right
    I'm all right, all right

    I'm just uptight, uptight, uptight, uptight
