I hear she came from a distant star
In a vintage dress and a stolen car
With a second hand copy of Planet Of The Apes
I was living at the time with a Mrs. Swift
It was a rent-free situation if you catch my drift
There's always more than several ways to pay
She cast her spell she silenced the place
With her full moon eyes in her night sky face
"It's hard being human in a world like this"
She purred in my ear and her hand brushed my wrist
And I cried when I was born
Life seemed so uninviting
To ride the storm dodging bolts of lightening
After darkness comes the dawn
And since I found you darling
I cried when I was born
But I'll die laughing
She left a trail of bobby pins
And other mysterious female things
And it led me to my ladies chamber door
I knocked once and I knocked twice
"Come in" she said, "and don't be shy
Hang up your clothes but leave your hang ups on the floor"
I did exactly as she said
And lay beside her on the bed
It's hard being human but the alternative is worse
Our curse is our beauty and our beauty is our curse
And I cried when I was born
Life seemed so uninviting
To ride the storm dodging bolts of lightening
After darkness comes the dawn
And since I found you darling
I cried when I was born
But I'll die laughing
Our love affair could be everlasting
Love vanishes when you try to grasp it
And if you're looking
For something to hold on to
Then I guess its change
It's change that's calling the tune we dance to
I cried when I was born
Life seemed so uninviting
To ride the storm dodging bolts of lightening
After darkness comes the dawn
And since I found you darling
I cried when I was born
But I'll die laughing
End on
