Earthling lyrics first transmission lyrics

I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 

 I know who i am

 

 I'm rock

 I'm roll

 Nat king cole

 Schatzakovic drowning in a fish bowl

 Earthling something you can never get a hold of

 Baby took a load off

 And then she strolled off

 Whistling

 Hummin'

 Thumbin' a ride

 "driver won't you take me to the other side?"

 I'm a book

 A poem

 By leonard cohen

 Son of the dice man

 And i won't stop throwing

 I'm boris karloff

 The man they could not hang

 I'm a ruffneck romantic

 Talkin' that slang

 I'm jesus christ superstar

 Driving around in an old yellow car

 I'm jumping on the balcony

 Landing on a bigger man

 I can fly

 I fly to japan

 Hail stones falling on my dreads

 Reminding me of something hendrix said

 

 Tunes from the room

 Come back on many levels

 Sounds from the earthling swing and dishevel

 I'm pollyana in the way that i portray

 Poo poo

 La la

 I kiss you on a good day

 

 Hey little beetle

 Sliding in my bath

 When you flip on your back

 You really make me laugh

 I used to kill worms when i was a kid

 Like mr. mclaren, someday i'll kill sid

 Crazy how my girl wants a simple life

 She's a simple schizophrenic but we get along fine

 I'm a young parisian,

 Maybe i'm mistaken

 Maybe i'm cuban

 Maybe i'm jamaican

 

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 

 I know who i am

 

 I never say "never"

 I always say "more"

 I know the score

 I know what to look for

 

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 I know who i am

 

 Kickin' like a kung-fu shakespeare

 Another girl another planet

 On the corner, just wasted

 Oh gosh

 Oh gosh

 Oh juliette binoche

 I'm on my way to babylon, by bus

 

 I'm a big bloke

 When i smoke, i don't choke

 "hi malachi" let's talk about hope

 In the beginning

 Head spinin' make me dizzy

 I'm the mirror man

 So don't ask who is it

 London is my city

 Jamaica's my country

 Africa's my history

 It ain't no mistery

 How i came to be

 Earthling-free

 Sitting in ilford watching tv

 

 Where's uhura

 On an adventure

 Did she touch your sexual centre?

 Cursing

 Never seen an earthling

 Never seen a microphone

 Microphone

 Now i'm all alone

 

 Lost in my head

 On the road until tomorow

 I'm double demented

 Like william burroughs

 P to the i to the m p

 Pimp

 Sako urinocho reading iceberg slim

 

 I'm marcus garvey

 I'm harvey keitel

 I'm the ghost of a dog chasing edie brickell

 It's crazy perplexing

 I'm hexing like a haitian

 I'm an arowak indian

 Picking pockets like fagan

 

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 

 I know who i am

 

 I never say "never"

 I always say "more"

 I know the score

 I know what to look for

 

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 I know who i am

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 I know who i am

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 I know who i am

 I'm not who you think i am

 I know who i am

 

 I'm michelangello working on a totem pole

 I'm gallileo studying shinto

 I'm the rest of the earth giving birth to a baby

 Grasshopper, tell me about slavery

 

 I'm in a sauna, watching television

 Yeah, tripitaka gave me permission

 I'm that man in 1686

 Saying black people come from venus

 Yeah

 

 I saw her reading poetry

 Practising verses

 What's the meaning of 33 degrees in the morning ?

 It ain't easy man

 It ain't easy
