lyrics

There you are inside a dream
Can’t hear even as I scream
And looking very cold, dreamlike and can’t be told
I’m holding just to hold; fossils lost the mold
A monkey in the middle plays a rubber fiddle
Much too far across when I wake up cold
Reaching out to hold, pull you out
My little alien
My little alien son

Winds rushing through my head
Blow on embers; the living dead
Imprint of memory, the only place for me
Cloudy as can be, a mist upon the sea
Forces against stay obtuse, sources of the abuse
A light for other eyes, I feel it there but I know
I got to let you go. Let go
My little alien
My little alien son

Peasant children
Destiny of fools
Don’t you keep them away from their family
Keep them away from their family

When you whispered in my ear
A little angel bigger than the fear
Selected by the hunt and born under the gun
We're in the races run, bastards - every one
Eternally it seems, the setting of the dreams
Where we can play for free - just you and me
Come along and see; hands free
My little alien
My little alien son
