Lyrics and translation

Original

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?

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?
