Meet an Alien
If I did meet an alien
I wanna meet an alien
And if I met an alien
I'd gift it all my favorite friends
I'd take it out to ball games
If I understood ball games
I'd take it out for dancing
We'd have a ball dancing
We'd write a story about
Fate = me and it, it and me
I'd learn more about its planet
As we run holding each other's appendages
Back to its ship
It tells me more about how women who get pregnant here
Go to the garden and they wait
For rain to seep into their skin, into the ground
Then they have babies when they want
It says, what's a man?
I say you're showing me the very best things
It makes me want to write a song
To tell my people there is more yet to come
So
When I meet an alien
I'll bring it to a garden
It says I'm not an alien
Just something that is hopeful
I'll confess I don't see you
But in my mind I feel you
So if you seek a war on all my humankind
I'll show you at our weakest
And when we kiss it's more sparks than contact
But that's no reason to hold back
We shoot my tears out of a gun
They take down nothing
I couldn't bear the wounds inflicted
Please don't leave me on this earth
Not everything is what it looks like
Sometimes your beauty lies in ambiguity
But some things you know
If I did meet an alien
I wanna meet an alien
And if I met an alien
I'd gift it all my earthling friends
I wanna meet an alien
And if I met an alien
I'd gift it all my favorite friends
I'd take it out to ball games
If I understood ball games
I'd take it out for dancing
We'd have a ball dancing
We'd write a story about
Fate = me and it, it and me
I'd learn more about its planet
As we run holding each other's appendages
Back to its ship
It tells me more about how women who get pregnant here
Go to the garden and they wait
For rain to seep into their skin, into the ground
Then they have babies when they want
It says, what's a man?
I say you're showing me the very best things
It makes me want to write a song
To tell my people there is more yet to come
So
When I meet an alien
I'll bring it to a garden
It says I'm not an alien
Just something that is hopeful
I'll confess I don't see you
But in my mind I feel you
So if you seek a war on all my humankind
I'll show you at our weakest
And when we kiss it's more sparks than contact
But that's no reason to hold back
We shoot my tears out of a gun
They take down nothing
I couldn't bear the wounds inflicted
Please don't leave me on this earth
Not everything is what it looks like
Sometimes your beauty lies in ambiguity
But some things you know
If I did meet an alien
I wanna meet an alien
And if I met an alien
I'd gift it all my earthling friends
