Alien Nation
Steve Gilmore (c) 2012

Cold wind blows dirty papers down the street
Playing hunt and fetch with my tired feet
World's weight across my shoulders
rain falling like boulders

Streets paved with gold, and good intentions, turn out to be empty, soulless places

The night draws closer, breathing down your neck
Whispering of cruelty and the world's neglect
Leaving you to whisper not yet, not yet
Leaving you to whisper no not yet

People everywhere, not a friend in sight
Going to be another dark and lonely night
Living in this alien nation, surviving in silence
Knowing every moment promises violence

There is nothing you can do
To dodge what is right in front of you
Roll with the punches, go with the flow
Acceptance comes easy when there's nothing left to know

Streets paved with gold, and good intentions, turn out to be empty, soulless places

The night draws closer, breathing down your neck
Whispering of cruelty and the world's neglect
Leaving you to whisper not yet, not yet
Leaving you to whisper no not yet
