Little Green Men - Paul Howells
From the choices that we've made and the plans that we've delayed
Our home's a place that we can't stay
And while you have the means, the manpower and machines
You bunker down and look away
But as the trees catch fire, & the oceans rise
You pack your bags and say your goodbyes
Since you’ve left yourself no other place
You blast off to outer space.
Now you’re just surrounded by your little green men
And despite the many faces not a single word is said
And so you’re stuck searching for answers in your head
how did you end up all alone?
As you’re sorting through the reasons that are bouncing round your brain
You’re still listening for the voices that were calling out your name
But as you stare into the void it stays the same -
How did you end up all alone? x2
As your rockets end their burn, Things at home have made a turn
The winds slow down and tides recede
But with your feet planted on Mars, and your head up in the stars,
You convince yourself this is all you need
Still you cover your ears, and close your eyes, and turn your head up to the skies
[Chorus]
As you look out to space so vast,
In time you’ll turn to face the past
And if what you left has what you lack,
Well you can’t come back
No you can’t come back.
Our home's a place that we can't stay
And while you have the means, the manpower and machines
You bunker down and look away
But as the trees catch fire, & the oceans rise
You pack your bags and say your goodbyes
Since you’ve left yourself no other place
You blast off to outer space.
Now you’re just surrounded by your little green men
And despite the many faces not a single word is said
And so you’re stuck searching for answers in your head
how did you end up all alone?
As you’re sorting through the reasons that are bouncing round your brain
You’re still listening for the voices that were calling out your name
But as you stare into the void it stays the same -
How did you end up all alone? x2
As your rockets end their burn, Things at home have made a turn
The winds slow down and tides recede
But with your feet planted on Mars, and your head up in the stars,
You convince yourself this is all you need
Still you cover your ears, and close your eyes, and turn your head up to the skies
[Chorus]
As you look out to space so vast,
In time you’ll turn to face the past
And if what you left has what you lack,
Well you can’t come back
No you can’t come back.
