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

 High up above aliens hover
 Making home movies for the folks back home
 Of all of 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 swoop down in a country lane
 Late at night when I'm driving
 Take me onboard 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've 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'm alright
 Alright
 I'm just uptight, uptight
 Uptight, uptight
 Uptight, uptight
 Uptight, uptight
