Alien identities don't hide your pretty face from me,
Em7 A
You awoke to the riddle of your life but no-one was there for you,
Em7 A
Open up to where you first began as a nicotine junkie, singing for a cola can,
Em7
Are you glad to see how far you've come?
N.C.
You're a wizard in a blizzard,
N.C.
A mystical machine gun!

You walked through a fire with a ten headed lion and turned on your destiny,

Open up, forget your life,

Breathe in, breathe out, retain a sense of suicide,
Em7
Are you glad to see how far you've come?
N.C.
You're a wizard in a blizzard,
N.C.
A mystical machine gun!
