I’ve come into this city to find myself:
a lover, a freedom and nothing else.
Lust-led by desire for your urban charms,
I fell helpless into alien arms.
I fell helpless into alien arms.

I gave up more than everything to be with you,
another, all reason and all I held true.
Open to your smile and closed to your wrongs,
I fell helpless into alien arms.
I fell helpless into alien arms.

Oh what a time it was.
Oh such a time it was.
It was…

I remember now how I explained myself:
your hands your fingers and your oral stealth.
Wrapped up in your legs and your long thin arms,
God, I fell helpless in those alien arms.
I fell helpless into alien arms.

Oh what a time it was.
Oh such a time it was.
It was…

I’m feeling much better now, and see I can smile,
although I missed nirvana by a long, long mile.
A sad boy led astray by those urban charms,
I fell naked into alien arms.
I fell helpless into alien arms.
Right here helpless in your alien arms.
