The Stranger from Mars

Familiar but boring Scary but wanted You the stranger Me the inhabitant Your love is different From any kind here You must be from somewhere Far away. Somewhere like Mars. Where people, different people Turn whole towns upside down With a smile and a slang Like for occupations You love people, me, to make money You meet my parents for a bonus And you steal my heart as a benefit How many benefits do you have in your pocket? As you drive into the sun Without really saying goodbye After you tell my neighbors you'll be back For some more good home cooking I know you'll never be back We were an assignment. And we pick up our lives Where we left them before you came. Like tornado victims, We search for your possesions... For ourselves. You made us think. You made me believe in something better. In Mars.
