Alien

Ran into an alien
His lil green foot playing in the snow
He said: we're gonna stay here now
I said: ok, aha, I don't know

Touching every tree
He cried with joy when he saw the light
He said: I've never seen anything this pretty
I said: Ok, aha, I guess it's alright
I guess nature is alright

And he said: Look at these roaming hills!
Look at these blue silent lakes!
Look at the people when they talk about their kids!
Look at these crispy mornings!
Look at these soft red nights!
He said: look at all of this!
I said: ok, just got a text here
I missed what you just said
There's nothing much to do here
You'll probably get bored here

He invited me into his flying saucer
We took a trip to my favourite cafe
I said I was a well-known singer
I could tell he didn't care

Tell me about love, he said. Tell me about love.
I said: Try to avoid it
It hurts when you lose it.
But it can be beautiful -
and it can be magical -
and it can be all you need -
and it can be... love

And he said: look at these roaming hills!
Look at these blue silent lakes!
Look at the people demonstrating in the streets!
Look at these crispy mornings!
Look at these soft red nights!
Look at all of this!
I said: ok, just got a text here
I missed what you just said
There's nothing much to do here
You'll probably get bored here

Walking on the streets
people yelled at him for being green
for his name being difficult to pronounce
and for probably taking someone's job
He said: You were given it all
And you turned it into... what?
He said goodbye to trees only.
I said: Well, it sounds bad when you put it like that
Tell space we send regards

roaming hills
blue silent lakes
humans when they fall in love
crispy mornings
soft red nights
all of this
this species destroys things
stay out of Mars.
