I Feel Like a Space Alien Sometimes

I am a flighty, preachy girl,

doesn't mean I don't know a thing or three.

If you think you've owned me with hurled words,

labels are sticky and I'm allergic to most glue.

 

You'd feel the same sting

if you were told who you are.

In fact I'm sure you're afraid anyway,

that I'll pass judgement on you too.

 

Let's have a talk with substance,

just you and I alone.

Your ego must be frightened

by my will to bare my truth.

 

And if you don't feel like talking,

I'll fire up the blow torch

and teach you how to dance

There's no stance I could think of,

that would leave a mark on you.
