Smelling smoke must be burning up the atmosphere.
 Am I lost, have I found the right placeto be.
 Better run, better clear, better be outta my way.
 I'm comin' down and I'm hot
 Yeah I'm hot like the sun, man I'm not of this earth
 Yeah I'm somethin' to see

 I slowly touch down on the planet,
 I'm the alien
 Could be some trouble up ahead

 Just got in today, landed in the USA
 Hitched a ride on a rocket from Milky Way,

 Just got in today, don't know if I want to stay,
 Think I'm gonna shoot back home
 Like a cosmic ray, oh, yeah, oh yeah.
 They'll never take me alive,
 They'll never take me alive.

 Now they're making me cover boy,
 standing in the aisles in the supermarket tabloids.
 Check it out, checking in,
 with inquiring minds need to know everything
 Like how did I get here
 Where will I go
 Is he red, Is he white or a six foot negro afrodite

 The CIA has got a file on everything I've done,
 Take me to my friends in Hanger 51

 Just got in today, landed in the USA
 Hitched a ride on a rocket from Milky Way,
 Just got into town, want to take a look around
 Just arrived but I don't think I want to stay, oh no, oh no.

 They'll never take me alive,
 They'll never take me alive.

 I don't have a phonecard to call home

 They want to take me as a specimen,
 dry me out, ground me into vitamins.
 Oh my God, maybe I'm the cure

 My future here it doesn't look too bright to me,
 I know today I gotta leave and be free, be free.

 Just got in today, landed in the USA
 Hitched a ride on a rocket from Milky Way,
 Just got into town, wanna take a look around
 Just arrived but don't think I want to stay.
 Just got in today, (just got in today),
 Welcome to the USA (welcome to the USA).
 Think I'm gonna shoot back home, like a cosmic ray
 They'll never take me alive, They'll never take me alive
