LYRICS
Albuquerque
we come in peace and love
and from the stars above we call off
the rolling dice and cards
and pull off the plaster cast and sayyou’re on your own
you’re on your own
i say you’re on your own now
you don’t want to be the onea 4D hologram
vibrations of a string in 10D
made in a high school lab in albuquerque
or in the outer reaches of our world
noyou’re on your own
i say you’re on your own now
you don’t want to be the oneto find you now
to hunt you down
don’t want to catch you, oh no
you don’t want to be the one
and from the stars above we call off
the rolling dice and cards
and pull off the plaster cast and sayyou’re on your own
you’re on your own
i say you’re on your own now
you don’t want to be the onea 4D hologram
vibrations of a string in 10D
made in a high school lab in albuquerque
or in the outer reaches of our world
noyou’re on your own
i say you’re on your own now
you don’t want to be the oneto find you now
to hunt you down
don’t want to catch you, oh no
you don’t want to be the one
to find you now
to hunt you down
don’t want to catch you, oh no
you don’t want to be the one
