[Intro]
Way out there in the midnight sky
A little Rock’n’Roll went flying by
Somebody heard that old guitar
And wondered where the hell we are
[Verse 1]
We sent that rhythm through the night
A six-string burning like a satellite
That old Rock’n’Roll crossed the great unknown
And suddenly we heard a voice on the phone
They said:
“We heard your music, we like that sound
We’re coming down, we’re coming down!”
Then a silver ship came out of the blue
And landed right where the music grew
[Pre-Chorus]
We thought they came from a million miles away
But they just wanted one thing to say:
“Turn it up!”
[Chorus]
WE ARE NOT ALONE!
No, we are not alone!
They came from the stars
To shake these bones
WE ARE NOT ALONE!
Everybody sing along!
Turns out Rock’n’Roll
Can travel mighty far!
[Verse 2]
They stepped out looking strange and tall
But they had rhythm, after all
One grabbed the guitar, one hit the drums
And somebody shouted:
“Here it comes!”
Then the drums started burning bright
Flames shooting up into the night
Every guitar threw a lightning flash
And that alien bass made the whole ground crash
We looked at them and laughed with delight
They looked at us and played all night
[Pre-Chorus]
No words to say, no need to explain
They knew the rhythm running through their veins
“Turn it up!”
[Chorus]
WE ARE NOT ALONE!
No, we are not alone!
They came from the stars
To shake these bones
WE ARE NOT ALONE!
Everybody sing along!
Turns out Rock’n’Roll
Can travel mighty far!
[Instrumental Break]
Guitar!
Drums!
Bass!
Boogie piano!
[Verse 3]
Their fingers moved like sparks in the dark
Every guitar was throwing sparks
The drummer hit and the sky turned red
The bass shook the ground beneath our feet
They didn't know our words or names
But they sure knew how to play that game
One little rhythm, one little sound
And suddenly there was no one left standing around
[Bridge]
Maybe music was never ours
Maybe it belongs to the stars
Maybe every world has got a beat
Waiting for another world to meet
We thought Rock’n’Roll was made for us
But now there's aliens riding the bus!
[Break]
HEY!
WE ARE NOT ALONE!
HEY!
WE ARE NOT ALONE!
[Final Chorus]
WE ARE NOT ALONE!
No, we are not alone!
They came from the stars
And they made themselves at home!
WE ARE NOT ALONE!
Now everybody knows
You don't need the same language
When you've got Rock’n’Roll!
WE ARE NOT ALONE!
From here to the great unknown!
WE ARE NOT ALONE!
Turn it up and let it roll!
[Outro]
The ship went home at the break of day
But left one guitar behind to play
And somewhere out beyond the moon
An alien band is playing our tune...
WE ARE NOT ALONE!
Yeah...
WE ARE NOT ALONE!
