Cuts to the quick
Pure emotion, a trip
No word of a lie
Oo-ah, oo-ah, oo-ah
Pressed to your lips
We collide, slowly twist
Ardent and lithe
Oo-ah, oo-ah, oo-ah
Seeps into the ground
Kisses the earth and I am found
Love's young dream could be alien
Strange ways how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye
Alien, Wo-Ah, alien
Just so it seems
Softly potent, serene
Vacant and shy
Oo-ah, oo-ah, oo-ah
You are everywhere
Under my skin and in my hair
Love's young dream could be alien
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye
Seeps into the ground
Kisses the earth and I am found
Love's young dream could be alien
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye
Love's young dream could be alien
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye
Love's young dream could be alien
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye
Love's young dream
Could be serene
So alien
Pure emotion, a trip
No word of a lie
We collide, slowly twist
Ardent and lithe
Kisses the earth and I am found
Strange ways how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye
Softly potent, serene
Vacant and shy
Under my skin and in my hair
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye
Kisses the earth and I am found
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye
Strange ways, how we fly
Tuning low like a radio
Whispering goodbye
Could be serene
So alien

This song originally was written to be about Vince Clarke's Japanese girlfriend of the time. The lyrics, roughly so, were "Japanese love could seem alien" - Presumably due to the cultural differences. The lyrics were changed, possibly to keep from offending people with its insightful (and innocent in intent) comments.
