Alien
The Classic Crime Lyrics


I'm a liar if it looks like I know what I'm doing
The bitter truth is
It's like I'm standing in the center of a big intersection
Asking directions

But no one slows
They got places to go
And they don't see me but I
Just need a ride to an office
Or a job application (yeah right)
Maybe I'll fake them

Oh, I lost my way
Another lonely ghost
Back from the barren plain
So I'll just wait
For all the doors to close
Take me away again

I am the patron saint of chaos
If you pray I will answer with nothing
How I survived out there without wasting away
It's a cosmic mystery

And I don't want to go back, no
But it's clear nobody wants me here
So when they're tired they can look to the horizon and find me
Just a shadow shimmering

Oh, I lost my way
Another lonely ghost
Back from the barren plain
So I'll just wait
For all the doors to close
And take me away again

All I've known
Is a wasteland as my home
So I will go
When all the doors close again
They never let me back in
Not after where I've been
I'm just an alien
I'm just an alien

Oh, I lost my way
Another lonely ghost
Back from the barren plain
So I'll just wait
For all the doors to close
And take me away again

It's basically a war crime that you guys don't get much attention. Easily my favorite band since hearing Albatross back in 2000s. Top tier 10/10 music across the discography. 12/10 poetic song-writing from Matt. Can't thank you enough for the stuff you put out. My music preferences varies a lot but TCC is the one band I keep coming back to. -From a fan living half-way around the world.

Just heard a new song from MGK and Willow, and you can hear the Classic Crime all over the track. Not sound byting but the style and melody for sure. Classic Crime did this back when no one was listening. It's insane they're not mainstream. It reminds me of Outkast, not by fame but how their songs stay relevant thru today.

I hope you find the inspiration you need in these trying times, Matt. The album themes and your songwriting just keeps getting better with time.

I’ve yet to find a song that more perfectly describes me in my life.

Anthony Garrison

Definitely another very relatable song from a group of great people.

I wrote comments on the songs from albatross. I want to thank you guys so much for being the soundtrack to some of the best times of my life. Albatross was the soundtrack to my college years and hold that album so dear. This reminds me of that. Thank you guys so much. Truly. Thank you
