came into view 		 	and he began to cry
	now only boys 			that love only boys
	the perfect picture 		  of a boy/girl age

		i'm praying to the aliens
			i'm praying to the aliens


	grey overcoat		     and he could be anyone
	a random pol' check 	"do you ever think of women"
	they broke him down	      like a torn old queen
	living somewhere	     between dead and dying

			i'm praying to the aliens
		i'm praying to the aliens

	there are no more		do you begin to see
	the corner of my eye		 could give me away
	isn't it strange		   how times change
	i can't imagine		       living any other way

		i'm praying to the aliens
			i'm praying to the aliens
