lyrics
Outer Space
We both live in separate worlds.
I have mine and you have yours.
But when we come face to face.
You label me from outer space.
And you live your life in a mental cage.
Only letting out your rage.
But I see things deeper than you think.
From behind these walls I still believe.
That the destruction of your human hands.
Reaching for those higher lands.
That you know you’ll never make it to.
Unless you start to enhance your view.
‘Cause you say God’s calling.
The Devil’s grabbing.
I think you’re crazy cause you’re laughing.
And I can’t quite understand the thrill,
You get from making people ill.
Now your head’s exploding.
You’re no longer laughing.
I think it’s scary, but I’m laughing.
And I think you realize the end is near,
You can no longer find that thrill,
Of making me wonder, always wonder why.
You don’t just give up and die.
And though we never see things eye to eye.
I think we can be friends on the other side.
In the world in which our minds divide.
But wait no I see again.
The reason why they don’t call you a man.
‘Cause you say God’s calling.
The Devil’s grabbing.
I think you’re crazy cause you’re laughing.
And I can’t quite understand the thrill,
You get from making people ill.
Now your head’s exploding.
You’re no longer laughing.
I think it’s scary, but you’re laughing.
And I think you realize the end is near,
You can no longer find that thrill,
Of making people ill.
Of making people ill.
