Alien Lyrics


The sun just went behind a cloud again
Down crowded streets he walks alone
He's a stranger out of place
A number not a face
And all day long, all day long

(CHORUS)
He's feelin like an Alien
Feelin like he don't belong
Have mercy, cried the alien
Help him find his way back home
The feelin that he feels he can't explain
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, they're all the same
He's lost and all alone
A heart without a home
Standin like a statue in the rain

(CHORUS)
Now, now and then we all are aliens
Feelin like we don't belong
Have mercy, cried the alien
Help him find his way back home
Feelin like an alien
he's feelin like he don't belong
Have mercy, cried the alien
Help him find his way
Help him find his way

Alien
  • The southern rock band Atlanta Rhythm Section charted for the last time with this song, which was written by their producer Buddy Buie along with Randy Lewis and Steve McRay.

    In spite of the title, it's not about extraterrestrials or illegal immigrants; it's an existential song about loneliness, alienation, and being disconnected from virtually every aspect of one's life and surroundings. It put the group back in the limelight, but afterwards, the group went through a number of changes in both sound and personnel. They continued to perform at festivals and other events, and retained a loyal following.
