Verse 1:

JUST LIKE AN ENTITY FROM A FAR UNIVERSE
CRASH-LANDED ON EARTH:

Chorus:

I FEEL SO STRANGELY ALIEN
MADE TO FEEL I DON'T BELONG
FEEL UPTIGHT
NEED TO BE WELCOMED HERE
WON'T YOU TURN TO RIGHT THIS WRONG

Verse 2:

I'M NOT FROM OUTER SPACE
I AM HUMAN LIKE YOU
WITH NEEDS LIKE YOURS, TOO

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

I DON'T EXPECT SPECIAL TREATMENT
NO, I DON'T
I'LL KNUCKLE DOWN
I WILL CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY

Key Change:

Instrumental (Chorus Variation)

Vocal Chorus x3
