Un Cafe Au Lait For Mr Mxyzptlk

Un café au lait un s'il vous plaît
the verde d'or on the side
the corner sit by the window
the sameness he thinks is implied.
Oh, he thinks that he is so invisible
disguised in a suit and a tie.

We will never belong here
we've just signed up for the ride
we're no longer sure where home is
homesickness is our only guide,
our only guide.

Well, they told us back home it's the small things

the small things that get you the stare,
the way that you curry your package

the jewelry, the style of the hair.
I guessed that he slept through the lectures

when they told him he had problems there.
We never did belong here
we've just signed up for the pay,
serve your planets a bit of adventure

but there's so much they just didn't say

Oh no, they didn't tell us.

The natives are only suspicious
nobody is calling the cops,
but the surprises just keep arising
the starring never quite stops.

But he is a man with a will and a mission
he'll keep plugging away until he drops.
We will never belong here
we just signed up for the ride
we're no longer sure where home is
home sickness is our only guide
our only guide.
