Lyrics
Afternoon, diesel fumes, the Greyhound hit the skids
And kicked me off in Hollywood, dodging skateboard kids
I took a room, took a bath, then took a look around
But every smile was just a grin in this big ambitious town
L.Alien, L.Alien
I'm a bean from a dust bowl crop
L.Alien, another one, thrown into the melting pot
There's a bit of me in the folks I see, crazy and alone
L.Aliens, L.Aliens, just a long long way from home
I met a girl from Oregon and a bartender from Maine
And bored 'em with my homesickness for those wide Midwestern plains
I'm somewhat of a hero back in Pikeville, USA
But here I'm just a brand new song with the same old thing to say
L.Alien, L.Alien
I'm a bean from a dust bowl crop
L.Alien, another one, thrown into the melting pot
There's a bit of me in the folks I see, crazy and alone
L.Aliens, L.Aliens, just a long long way from home
On Palm Tree Street, my foreign feet are lost and sore
Point me east from this neon beast, 'cause I can't take no more
L.Alien, L.Alien
I'm a bean from a dust bowl crop
L.Alien, one of millions, swallowed up in the gold rush plot
There's a bit of me in the faces I see, crazy and alone
L.Aliens, L.Aliens, just a long long way from home
