Hm, hm

They're walkin' downtown, can't tell them apart

'Cause they got the same face and the same broken heart

They all moved here with a dream

Guess nothin's as good as it seems

This is the part where I feel out of place

Everybody I know is chasin' whiskey and fame

And I'm still holdin' out hope

There might be some magic in these mirrors and smoke

But I'm an alien

I wanna phone home again

Here in the city of broken dreams

I'm just a human in a big machine

Well, I'm an alien

Ooh

And I'm older than thirty, but I don't feel my age

I'm tryin' to be free, but I'm locked in a cage

Wonderin' if I'm enough

And tryin' to be someone I'm proud of

But I'm an alien

I wanna phone home again

Here in the city of broken dreams

I'm just a human in a big machine

I'm an alien

Yeah, I'm an alien

I wanna phone home again

But I've been here for so damn long

I shouldn't feel like I don't belong

But I'm an alien

Yeah, I'm an alien

I'm an alien
