The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air

I live in a town
where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement

up above
Aliens hover
making home movies
For the Folks back home

of all these weird creatures
who lock their spirits
drill holes in themselves
and live for their secrets

They're all uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight

I wish they'd swoop down in the country lane
late at night when i'm driving
Take me onboard their beautiful ship
Show me the world as I love to see it

I'd tell all my friends
but they'd never believed me
They'd think that I finally lost it completely
I show them the stars
in the meaning of life
they shut me away
but i'd be alright
all right

i'm just uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight

uptight
