Homesick Alien

I’m sure I was adopted, kidnapped from the stars
The beat was interrupted in my anemic heart
And now I am an outcast in the stratosphere
With more than half my life past, still I am stranded here

Born to be a stranger even to my next of kin
Stolen from the manger I’m a homesick alien
Love foreshadows danger on the crooked road to sin
Paving it with anger I’m a homesick alien

I search for some resemblance in old photographs
But I’m not like my parents, I come from neither half
But deep down in the picture, X-rays of my mind
If madness was scripture, my thoughts would be divine

If I could be a puppet, I’d bow to my strings
For too long have I roughed it on my defective wings
