parberoo that more or less sums it up. This song has nothing to do with aliens. Our protagonist feels like an alien in his new town and is longing for the place where everything makes sense and people are real and the sky never 'turns green'.
I am a huge Genesis fan; they are my second favorite band in the world. This album and Ray Wilson were fine with me; I think the reason Genesis fizzled had a lot less to do with the loss of Phil and more to do with the fact that the adult contemporary-ish model that still worked with 'We Can't Dance' in '91 was no longer a draw in '97 and Mike and Tony had run out of viable ideas for material that would resonate with their longtime fan base.
