Intro

Verse

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

Bridge

 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

Chorus

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
