Loving the Alien Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I think I'm scared
Sometimes I know
I feel like making love
Sometimes I don't
I feel like letting go
Or maybe not
I feel like giving up
Is all we've got

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes is all the time
And never means maybe
Sometimes is all the time
Maybe

[Chorus]
And I'm moving on
And I'm moving on
(Sometimes I feel alone)
And I'm moving on
And I'm moving on

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I make believe
When we're alone
Machines have taken hold
Can you get me to a telephone?
It's just the little things
You used to see
Am I still that man who makes
You who you want to be?
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes is all the time
And never means maybe
Sometimes is all the time
Maybe

[Chorus]
And I'm moving on
And I'm moving on
(Sometimes I feel alone)
And I'm moving on
And I'm moving on

[Bridge]
I never noticed
How lovely were the aliens
Lovely were the aliens
I never noticed
How lovely were the aliens
Lovely were the aliens

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
And I'm moving on
And I'm moving on
(Sometimes I feel alone)
And I'm moving on
And I'm moving on
(Sometimes I feel alone)
And I'm moving on
And I'm moving on
And I'm moving on
And I'm moving on
And I'm moving on, ah
And I'm moving on

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Loving the Alien” is also the tile of a song on the 1985 David Bowie album “Tonight.” Given the sound of the VR song, it seems unlikely that this is coincidence, especially given the lyrics referencing a sense of impending doom, nihilistic loneliness, and “how lovely the aliens are.”
