Show me the world as I'd love to see it
Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
I live in a town where you can't smell a thing
Uptight, uptight
I'm alright, alright
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets
Making home movies for the folks back home
They're all uptight, uptight
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely

I'm just uptight, uptight
They'd shut me away but I'd be alright, alright
Uptight
I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me
Late at night when I'm driving

Uptight, uptight
You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement
Take me on board their beautiful ship
Uptight, uptight

Up above aliens hover
I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane
I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life
Uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
