Lyrics for Praying to the Aliens

Slowly the thought There is no one to replace Came into view And he began to cry Now only boys That love only boys The perfect picture Of a boy, girl age I'm praying to the aliens I'm praying to the aliens Gray overcoat And he could be anyone A random poll check Do you ever think of women? They broke him down Into a torn old queen Living somewhere Between dead and dying I'm praying to the aliens I'm praying to the aliens There are no more Do you begin to see? The corner of my eye Could give me away Isn't it strange How times change? I can't imagine Living any other way I'm praying to the aliens I'm praying to the aliens I'm praying to the aliens I'm praying to the aliens
