The stars above us twinkle Like eyes of flashing teeth Whose eyes are these that watch us So many light years beneath They seem so very cold up there So far from island earth We've wanted just to join them Since the moment of our birth There's aliens in our midst There's aliens in our midst There's aliens in our midst There's aliens in our midst This friend of mine was five years old He dressed up in his sister's clothes And his daddy got so mad That he beat him with a rubber hose But he grew up okay And he made his way to junior high And as things would have it fell in love And he gave his ring to another guy There's aliens in our midst Where they come from no one knows There's aliens in our midst They look like me and you There's aliens in our midst This place seems strange to them There's aliens in our midst One day their dreams will come true The rich man and the poor man The beggar and the thief They all want money But it can't buy relief The workers and the dreamers They make their beds to lie in If you pass beneath their windows You can hear them crying That, that there's aliens in our midst Where they come from no one knows There's aliens in our midst They look like me and you There's aliens in our midst This place seems strange to them There's aliens in our midst One day their dreams will come true Someday their dreams will come true Someday their dreams will come true Someday their dreams will come true
