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, 
uptight, uptight.

I wish that they`d sweep down in a country lane,
late at night when I`m driving. 
Take me on board their beautiful ship, 
show me the 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`d be alright, alright,
I`d be alright,
I`m alright.

I`m just uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight,
uptight.
