about

This is a story of a girl – an alien girl. Despondent with her own world, she seeks adventure in a galaxy, far, far away

lyrics

I descend on a strange place to get away from my world
Gotta find a new space - don’t want to be nobody’s girl
I’ve gotta get away, gotta fly away, gonna flip you all the bird
So I’m off in my ship for a thousand light years
From my home I disappear

The alien girl searches the galaxy for some sort of meaning. She comes across a small blue-green planet – the planet Earth. Population: 7 billion. Will this be the place for her?

I step out of my space ship to greet this brand new home
Everyone’s staring at me as I stand alone
They continue on in oblivion as I yell and scream out loud
They’re all caught in a void lost in their own dream
In this space no one hears you scream

This world this world is a strange world, I just don’t understand
The creatures, the creatures in this world have got me screaming mad
This world this world is a strange world, I just don’t understand
The people, the people around here just don’t give a damn.

The alien girl finds things not quite what she hoped for. What’s she to do – stay here, or return home?

I’ve gotta get away
Got to get back to the world that I know and I love and who love me
People here on planet Earth spend their time looking at screens for their dreams but it’s never all it seems

This world this world is a strange world, I just don’t understand
The creatures, the creatures in this world must be freakin’ mad
This world this world is a strange world, I just don’t understand

There’s no place like home
There’s no place like home
There’s no place like home
