In “Subterranean Homesick Alien,” Thom speaks of being isolated or different from the rest of his brethren. He wishes an alien colony can take him away just so he could be a silent observer instead of an active participant in this unfair game we call life.

[Verse 1]
The breath of the morning I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air
I live in a town where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement
Up above aliens hover
Making home movies for the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets
[Chorus]

Uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
[Verse 2]
I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane

I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life
They'd shut me away
[Bridge]
But I'd be alright, alright
Mom, I'm alright, alright
[Chorus]
I'm just uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptight
