Slash Lyrics
"The Alien"

Just what the hell has happened here
Smelling smoke
Must be burning up the atmosphere
Am I lost, have I found the right place to be

Better run, better clear, better be outta my way
I'm comin' down and I'm hot
Yeah I'm hot like the sun, man I'm not of this earth
Yeah I'm somethin' to see

I slowly touch down on the planet
I'm the alien
Could be some trouble up ahead
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 want to stay
Think I'm gonna shoot back home
Like a cosmic ray, oh yeah, oh yeah

They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
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 Afrodite
The CIA has got a file on everything I've done
Take me to my friends in Hanger 51
Just got in today, landed in the USA

Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way
Just got in to town, want to 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
I don't have a phone card to call home
They want to take me as a specimen
Dry me out, ground me into vitamins

Oh my God, maybe I am the cure
My future here it doesn't look too bright to me
I know today I gotta leave and be free, be free
Just got in today, landed in the USA

Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way
Just got into town, want to 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'm gonna shoot back home, like a cosmic ray
They'll never take me alive, they'll never take me alive
