First Transmission Lyrics - Singles - Earthling

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
