Am I Not Alien?

A man is an island
Unto a shining black mirage
A man is in silence
As he moves through the garage
Can’t complain, he plays the game,
He’s happy to be alive on this fine day
Though he don’t belong here,
A castaway cast in some role,
He never tried out for,
It’s been so long since he’s been whole
Can’t complain, the old refrain,
He’s happy to be alive on one more day
I start to wonder,
Am I not alien?
When I see another,
Am I not alien?
Am I not alien?
Out on a mission,
Ready to conquer planets,
A man has gone AWOL,
Cos he thought better of it he just met,
Another stray, she’d like to stay,
They're happy to be alive on this fine day
And still I wonder,
Am I not alien?
When I see another,
Am I not alien?
Am I not alien?
One in a million,
It’s only natural to find,
Just when you don’t care, and you’re nowhere,
Out of the blue someone arrives,
To change your mind, and set you right,
I’m ready to come alive on one more day
And still I wonder,
Am I not alien?
As I cross the border,
Am I not alien?
Am I not alien?
Am I not alien?
Hmmm

WTF
OMG
LOL
FOMO
On a perfectly fine midsummer morning
Hiding in the woods as society collapses
Minding my own rot
Looking at the ads
For things I already bought
Oh my
And lions and tigers and bots
And Toto,
I don’t think we’re in America anymore
I would like to be the first to welcome
Our new green gelatinous tentacled overlords
Did I tell you I speak Russian?
Maybe I can help
Hey, I heard the Earth is flat
I changed my name to Chad
Scrutinize and edit all my ALL CAPS raging
Leave me alone, please love me,
Send me kittycats
From FaceVerboten purgatory
My name is mud
Out of sight, out of my mind,
Staying focused on the daily gristle
Dream of a luxurious recreational space missile
When I see your face,
grace the feed lot backlit and I am split
WTF OMG LOL
Now that you are one of the people I may know
AMA IDK SMH ILY STFU
Leave me alone, please love me
Send me kittycats from verboten purgatory
My name is mud
Out of sight, out of my mind
I stay focused on the daily gristle
WTF OMG LOL
Now that you are one of
The people I may know
Whoa whoa
The people I may know
Whoa oh
Now that you are one of
The people I may know
The people I may know

I'm a guitarist and singer-songwriter with The Uptones. These are my solo recordings, starting from 2015. I started Berkeley Cat Records in 2019. BandCamp is the first place I publish these puppies, before I send them into the streaming wilds. Wait, you ask, Berkeley Cat Records has puppies? Why yes, Matilda. Thanks for popping in, hope you enjoy the tunes! ... more
