Lyrics

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?
Lyrics and music by Winston Apple

We’ve got our telescopes pointed at every corner of the sky
We’re sending radio signals out across the universe
Hoping for some kind of reply
Yeah we’re searching for a reason to believe that we are not alone
Is there anybody out there?
We’d like to know

So here we are tonight
Sending out some signals of our own (Is there anybody out there?)
Hoping to find some sign of intelligent life
A little bit closer to home (Is there anybody out there?)
Moving through our own little universe
Both of us thinking maybe we could do better
But knowing we could do a whole lot worse
Well I wish I could convince myself that I’ve got nothing to lose
Oh, but I know better and I bet that you do too

Ruby sashays into the room, flashing her Mona Lisa smile
Wearing nothing but her saffron robe, I know she knows that drives me wild
I’m smoldering with desire (Ooh desire)
She’s gonna fan the sparks into a flame
I know she’s only pretending to want me (I can feel the fire)
But that’s a game she knows how to play
And as she wipes off her lipstick, she smiles at me and wets her lips
I try to brace myself
I know I’m gonna get kissed

Right here, right now
It all comes down to me and you
If you’re drawn to me, honey, you know all you’ve got to do
Is give me some kind of signal (Ooh, baby, baby, ooh)
Give me some kind of sign (Ooh, baby, baby, ooh)
I promise you won’t have to wait more than a heartbeat for my reply
Well I’ve got my mind made up, but I can’t seem to make my move
Is there anybody out there?
Could it be you?

I’ve got the fever (Ooh, I’ve got the fever)
I get the feeling you might be the cure
I’d like to try a dose or two of you just to be sure
Can you smother me with kisses and still leave me room to breathe?
If you can do that, honey
You may be the one for me
Well I’ve almost got myself convinced that I’ve got nothing to lose
Is there anybody out there? Could it be you?
Is there anybody out there? Could it be you?
