the breath of morning

I keep forgettin'

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



high 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 x7)



I wish that they'd swoop down

in a country lane

late at night when I'm drivin'



take me on board

their beautiful ship

show me the world 

as I 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'd be all right

All Right



I'm just...uptight

(uptight x7)
