Ufo Lyrics

Look at the cover and you'll know how the book ends
Turned 23 and marked me off as a has-been
I wrote some words down on a white paper napkin
And I woke up in outer space
I told my friends we'd meet again on that same couch
But they're all married now or in jail or strung out
Blew all my money just to live in a dollhouse
Put on a happy face

And I thought I saw a UFO
But I guess it was just a cloud
And I thought maybe the seed would grow
But it's wilted and turning brown
I swear I'll be home for Christmas this year
If I could just leave the house
I thought I saw a UFO
But then it came crashing down

I left her in Brooklyn with some cash and a shoеbox
Landlord hung up a sign and put on a padlock
Traded my metro card for Advil and sunblock
And boarded a onе-way flight
Got a hotel through-out the stash and the champagne
I started drinking herbal tea for the neck pain
Wrote her a letter, but she's got a new last name
And I'm here alone tonight

And I thought I saw a UFO
But I guess it was just a cloud
And I thought maybe the seed would grow
But it's wilted and turning brown
I swear I'll be home for Christmas this year
If I could just leave the house
I thought I saw a UFO
But then it came crashing down

Thought about moving to the mountains this new year
Put on a cowboy hat and grow out a long beard
Guess I could drink again but it's been like ten years
And that'd make my old man cry
I know there's got to be an ending to this mess
I just don't want to wait to see how bad it gets
I was on fire boy, now it's the cold sweat
I'm lying awake again tonight

Cause I thought I saw a UFO
But I guess it was just a plane
And I thought maybe the seed would grow
Yeah but it's circled and round and drained
I swear I'll be home for Christmas this year
If I could just fix my pay
I thought I saw a UFO
But they all say I'm insane

Never wanted to feel like I was growing up
[?]
Living like I was forever young I'll never grow up
Nobody told me that one day I was gonna wake up
Grown up
And fucked up..
