Take Me Away
A&F Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Room is filled with a strange blue light
We won't hurt you the alien said
The lips never moved on his big alien head
When the aliens take me away
When the aliens take me away
When the aliens take me away
I'm gonna go
I've always been curious
I wanna see the Pleiades
From the window of an alien bus
When the aliens take me away
When the aliens take me away
When the aliens take me away
I'm gonna go
Life on the alien ship is not as nice as you'd think
They got very little to eat and even less to drink
Really need some more chicken breasts
A bottle or two of Columbia Crest
I could've made it to Alpha Centauri
Could've seen that star in all its glory
When the aliens take me away
When the aliens take me away
When the aliens take me away
I'm gonna go
When the aliens take me away
When the aliens take me away
When the aliens take me away
I'm gonna go
