Alien

from Hard Sardine by Luke Callen

/

lyrics

There's a lady who walks these streets by day
Even on the ones you kneel and pray
Selling Tamales a dollar and change
Or three for five ain't no honest wage

Another man comes here most every night
To the West Bank bar where the drunkards fight
Selling roses white pink and red
For the one you's with and perhaps the one who's dead

There's a war going down in a Latin Land
Got so bad they wanna be North Americans
Left the land of the pineapple fruit
And came to the land of the red white and blue business suit

Now here they are so far from their home
Thousand Miles kicking stones
They've got where they're going
but no one's asking how they've been
They just scream and yell Alien

So we walk on our beaches of silver and gold
Living off the money we made from the old
Who took the money when the killed an Indian
now we scream and yell Alien
