[Verse 1]

Just what the hell has happened here?

Smelling smoke, burning up the atmosphere

Am I lost, have I found the right place to be?

Better run, better clear, better outta my way

I'm comin' down and I'm hot

Yeah, I'm hot like the sun

And I'm not of this Earth

Man, I'm somethin' to see

[Pre-Chorus]

I slowly touch down on the planet, I'm the alien

Could be some trouble up ahead

[Chorus]

Just got in, today

Landed in the USA

Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way

Just got in, today

Don't know if I wanna stay

Think I'm gonna shoot back home on a cosmic ray

Oh yeah, oh yeah

They'll never take me alive

They'll never take me alive

[Verse 2]

Now they're making me a 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, or an Afrodite?"

[Pre-Chorus]

The CIA has got a file on everything I've done

Take me to my friends in Hangar 51

[Chorus]

Just got in today

Landed in the USA

Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way

Just got into town, wanna 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

[Bridge]

I don't have a phone card to call home

[Solo]

[Verse 3]

They want to take me as a specimen

Dry me out, grind me into vitamins

Oh my God, maybe I am the cure

[Pre-Chorus]

My future here, it doesn't look too bright, to me

I know, today, I gotta leave

And be free

Be free

[Chorus]

Just got in today

Landed in the USA

Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way

Just got into town, wanna take a look around

I 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 wanna shoot back home, like a cosmic ray

They'll never take me alive

They'll never take me alive
