Alien Skin from Good Stuff by Ladyshark
I have been living in the United States for almost 8 years. It is strange to live somewhere and always feel like you aren't really respected and acknowledged as everyone else is because you're not a citizen. This song was written about my alien experience and how I'm usually an outsider most of the time anyway.

Lyrics
I’m used to not quite fitting in
I’m used to squashing in around the edges
I’ve sunk pretty deep before I learned how to swim
I’ve been lost heaps scrambling over hedges
I’m always on the outside looking in
I’m an alien with human skin
I’m always on the outside looking in
Swayin’ on the sidelines I’ll never fit in
I get sidetracking on the odd road less travelled
I’m a drifter committed to wherever I take up space
I try to pick my feet up and not sink into the gravel
I think I’m losing on behalf of the human race
I’m always on the outside looking in
I’m an alien with human skin
I’m always on the outside looking in
Swayin’ on the sidelines I’ll never fit in
