Alien Creatures. Collaboration with Tim. - 10/12/19 06:04 PM
Hi Folks.
My friend wrote this tune years ago... It was a sort of campfire song that he performed when stars came out. I tried to push idea for him to come and record this at my place, but unfortunately that occasion never took place. He got married recently and as a small gift to him, I made an arrangement and recorded this song. All BIAB tracks except for FX. With Tim's permission, I am uploading this to my soundcloud and sharing it with this community.
Alien Creatures
Lyrics:
Alien Creatures with animal features
Standing, standing over my bed.
I am asleep dreaming off sandy beaches
And deep blue skies over my head.
Alien Creatures with animal features
Looking for switches inside of my head.
I am asleep dreaming off sandy beaches
While my body twitches on my bed.
Run run run run away tonight,
Everything is gonna gonna be alright.
If you see my clone, I want you to know
That real me ain’t far from home
Run run run away like hell,
Otherwise you too will be under their spell.
They will send back home your empty shell
And no-one will be able to tell.
They take me aboard of their alien ship
And there’re others like me on this alien trip
And I see planet Earth, a blue dot below
And wherever we go, I don’t wanna go.
What if it’s an intergalactic feast,
We are just another course for their beast?
At least here I should try to resist
Because they are cloning us and no one was missed.
Alien creatures with animal features
Cloning our features and trying our switches.
Before they can get to me, something glitches
And I wake up inside one of their ditches.
I open my eyes and I clench my fists
And I look around. I decide to resist.
When I see a swarm of these alien beasts
I just jump right into their mists!
Alien creatures with animal features
They are not very good at securing their breaches.
Their pilot is dead and his body twitches
As I take control of his switches.
Big blue beautiful planet below.
I am coming in hot, I am coming in low
I defeated a host of these alien foes
And my UFO starts to glow.
I open the hatch and come outside
“Baby come out, there’s no need to hide”
But a sinister feeling is growing inside
The very second I see my bride.
I guess you ran and ran like hell
But it wasn’t fast enough for their alien spell
All I have left is an empty shell
And no one is able to tell.
