lyrics:

I think I really miss my bed
Oh when, oh when will the nightmare end?
I had it good, I had it good
And yet I left and can't retrace my steps
My steps

You’re gonna be eaten by a coyote
Run little one
Though the pack may follow
Two quite thin, their brother fatter
You can still win, just gotta be faster

Run for the yard
They’ve barred up the gutter
That was our route better find another
Was that a rabbit?
Really not
Like the one I’ve seen on a cereal box

And the birds don’t talk
Like the ones on screen
Have they really domesticated me?
And the birds don’t talk
Like the ones on screen
Have they really domesticated me?

(instrumental)

Cotton tail gonna end up in jail
Wrong place wrong time
Bad tune but it rhymed
And lined up perfectly to blame
The one who is far too tame
And he say:

Out, let me in, let me in, let me out
Stop telling me all about your problems
I been to hell, still in, get me out
Whatever they are I don’t know how to solve 'em

Out, let me in, let me in, let me out
Stop telling me all about your problems
I been to hell, still in, get me out
Whatever they are I don’t know how to solve 'em

Say, is that the kid from the milk carton?
Can I do anything when I’m also missing?
Something tells me kid
Never learned to swim
But can I do anything when I’m also drowning?

(instrumental)

Think I forgot a couple things
My brain is still at home
Home's far away
I really thought that life was one big race
But now I know it's one big chase

You can still win, just gotta be faster
You can, you can, you can, you can win

You can still win, just gotta be

I think I really miss my bed
Oh when, oh when will the nightmare end?
I had it good, I had it good
And yet I left and can't retrace my steps

Think I forgot a couple things
My brain is still at home (stop telling me all about your problems)
Home's far away
I really thought that life was one big race
But now I know it's one big chase (oh)

You’re gonna be eaten by a coyote
Run little one
Though the pack may follow
Two quite thin, their brother fatter
You can still win, just gotta be

You’re gonna be eaten by a coyote
Run little one
Though the pack may follow
Two quite thin, their brother fatter
You can still win, just gotta be

You can still win, just gotta be

Oh, the air is thick
Kinda makes me sick
Can I give CPR when I'm suffocating?

And the birds don't sing
Like the ones on screen
Have they really domesticated me? (I can still win, just gotta be)
Have they really domesticated me? (I can still win, just gotta be)
Have they really domesticated me? (I can still win, just gotta be)

Have they really domesticated me? (faster!)

Lyrics:
I am an alien
My rocket ship is human bone and skin
I’m something smaller staring out the skull
With a panel of wire and
Buttons I don't understand
Spamming every one of them
So, does being human mean pretending to know
What’s going on?!
(Hello?)
What's going on?!
(Hellooo? Fine!)

Take me to your leader
I would like to have a couple words
Get your shit together
How do humans keep on getting worse?
I’d go back to space but they've invaded out there too

We’re doomed
(Will anyone tell me what's going on? No? I'm gonna scream!)
(AHHHHHH! Tell me!)

You mock the way I talk
And I might be a little bit behind
Trends and slang and other ways to fit the box
To not be not liked

Once it gets underneath my skin
It's hard to let anyone in
Again my walls go up
I’m on defense, my solitude is
Safer than having friends
Why do I feel alien?!

I am an alien
My rocket ship is human bone and skin
I’m something smaller staring out the skull
Through two big eye sockets
And I just don't understand
How to become one of them
Does being human mean
Pretending to be something you're not?
What's going on?!

Take me to your leader 
I would like to have a couple words
Get your shit together
How do humans keep on getting worse?
I’d go back to space but they've invaded out there too

We’re doomed!

I don't wanna be here
Don't want a body or brain or thoughts of my own
I don't know who’s there in the mirror
Wanna go home
Where is home though?

I don't wanna be her
Dissociate through another day
I don't know who that is standing in the mirror
Everywhere I look I’m alone

I am an alien
My rocket ship is human skin and bone
I’m over trying to fit in
Guess I’ll always be alone
Cause I just don't understand
How to become one of them

How do I be one of
How do I be one of you?

(Is anyone out there? Over.)
(Anyone!? Over.)
(I’m talking to myself, aren't I? AHAHAH. Over!)

How do I be one of
How do I be one of you?

5. Quarters

(1, 2, 3, 4)
Wish I could stick my memories
Under my pillow for a quarter each
Losin’ em like baby teeth anyway
So give me a quarter please

I just want a gumball at the mall

Here I am in a place I’ve never been
All alone, two decades old
My best friend is a cat who is buried in the yard
Across the country safe at home
Wouldn’t you believe the things we do to breathe?
The things we gotta just let go?
Endin’ up again in a place I’ve never been
All alone, two decades old

And I’m excited for Colorado
But not for the altitude
Got real sick last time I went
So I’m giving Mother Earth some attitude
All alone, watchin’ a movie
In some motel in New Jersey
Nobody here can hurt me
They don't know me well enough to

Here I am in a place I’ve never been
All alone, two decades old
Learnin’ different words for the clouds up over head
But the stars are still the same as home
Wouldn't you believe the things we do to breathe?
The things we gotta just let go?
Endin’ up again in a place I’ve never been
All alone, two decades old

I wanna move and never settle down
But I also want a chicken coop and a thousand hounds
Mind if I keep you in my collection?
I gotta build new friendships, new connections

Here I am in some place I’ve never been
All alone, it don't get old
Learnin’ how to cope with the fact it has to end
When I’m out of quarters in my coat
Didn't wanna leave Willy on the scene
Fig will have to learn to float
Startin’ over again in some place I’ve never been
All alone, two decades old

What’s Going On?!
