Alien

One million hungry cities
Beg and plead to be the last
Piece by piece I leave
All my nostalgia in the past

There's no rest for the reckless
When two becomes a crowd
They'll never let me catch my breath
I'll never settle down

Tall, dark, ransom letter
I just want to get to know you better
Call me when you get this
Kind of hope that I won't regret this

'Cause you make me feel so alien
Teach me to speak your language
We'll trade our hearts and break them in
Different degrees of dangerous
Tease me with your mother's tongue
We'll leave behind our fathers' guns
And blast away outside the lines
We're making up our own side

There's nothing more exciting
Than a life lived on the run
I'll never find my happiness
But at least I'm having fun

I don't connect in the present tense
No, I can only grieve
Maybe we're two separate species
With the same disease

And I love the trauma, the treason
The death penalties and
The wicked little games we play
The lying, deceiving
The thrill of believing
That something could go our way

'Cause you make me feel so alien
Teach me to speak your language
We'll trade our hearts and break them in
Different degrees of dangerous
Tease me with your mother's tongue
We'll leave behind our fathers' guns
And blast away outside the lines
We're making up our own side

To explain my sick and twisted
Fascination with your fist
Crush my soul inside
Become the final proof that it exists
Justify my paranoia
Name the crimes you can't forgive
I'd let you put me in my place
If you'd tell me where that is

'Cause you make me feel so alien
Teach me to speak your language
We'll trade our hearts and break them in
Different degrees of dangerous
Tease me with your mother's tongue
We'll leave behind our fathers' guns
And blast away outside the lines

You make me feel so alien
You make me feel so
You make me feel so alien
You make me feel
